Couple of points

1) I hope you are aware Zipp rims are fitted with oval rim washers, that need to be removed and replaced with new (non deformed) ones... it is a royal PITA

2) Sapim CX Ray is already a flimsy spoke, I would not use anything lighter... too fragile to handle and will most likely fail quite rapidly and will have lower stiffness.

3) For a bit of advice, this is my rebuild of a 303 on a Dura Ace hub, if that helps

Last sentence:

if you can’t find the odd length, round up, as I did.

This contradicts the usual advice.

This contradicts the usual advice.

I certainly always round down. Slightly too short is mildly annoying, slightly too long is game-over-and-buy-some-new-spokes time.
