short spokes

I'm trying to be frugal, and use some spokes I have lying around to build a new front wheel.

The spokes I have are 271mm. The ones that Spocalc specs should be 273.4. Can I make up that difference with longer nipples?

Seeing how spokes come in 2mm increments, I think I know the answer to my question; however I'm just wondering there is a workable solution.

Thanks in advance!
