Does unequal speaker wire length matter?

My amp is not located centrally between my speakers. Due to the layout of my listening area, the amp is about 10 feet from one speaker, and adjacent to the other - and this will not change. I am currently using two 4-meter cables, but one of them need only be about 1 meter. I am looking to upgrade my cables, could I get away with unequal lengths and save a good bit of money?

When recordings are made, some of the many microphones that are usually used have much longer cables than others. Does this matter?

Sumiko OCOS cable is constant impedence whatever its length and they claim cables do not have to be of equal length (i.e., if one channel is 1ft and the other is 100ft you won't be able to hear a difference!).
