My question is can I safely cut some of this excess ladder line off? I

May be a rash assumption. Trimming the feedline will change the
impedance the tuner sees and the tuner may (or may not) like the
new impedances. How about downloading the free demo version of
EZNEC from www.eznec.com and seeing for yourself what the
tuner will see?
