Hardware: Starling 2 Max drone

We need to move all 4 cameras 80mm to 100mm further out from their current locations. If I'm understanding things correctly this requires replacing 4 of MCBL-00084-80 with longer cables. Some documentation though appears to show different connectors for M0166 vs M0161 camera modules so maybe the cable part numbers I quoted are wrong.

What is required to get longer cables?
What are the risks associated with replacing the existing cables with longer cables?
