I wouldn't have thought that is a problem, just use several end stacked - at
worst you may need to put a bit of cling film or similar between them for
insulation if the very end has a conductive stripe in it.

That is one of the reasons I figured these would be so good - there is so
many in the packet that there would be heaps to play with.
