I didn't get an answer on this one, so here's what I found:

 - On the positive battery cable, 29" would be pretty good if you run the cable through the front shroud.  This car has the body hole, so I went through that instead.  Beyond that, Advance Auto only had 26" and 34", so we got the longer cable and I ran it along the fuel line then turned it to the starter.  Turned out ok.
 - Negative battery cable.  I really only needed about 13", but the closest they sold was 15", so we're using that.
