If you're using a deep section rim, it's unlikely that the ends of the spoke will be a problem, especially if you use a decent rim tape such as Velox; what is more likely to be a problem is that the nipple will run out of threads before there's sufficient tension in the spoke. I would go with shorter rather than longer spokes.
