I am looking for tutorial information on cutting coaxial cables to various electrical phase lengths.
Do the cables always have an SWR of 1:1, i.e. are they always flat? If not, the cable will also transform impedances which adds another dimension to the complexity.

You are over thinking the problem at hand.
The purpose of the phasing cables is to put the two antenn'a in phase with each other.
You don't tune the antenna with the coax - you tune it with the antenna matching unit.
Once the antenna is tuned - the length of the coax is the matching unit.
