So you can use DT swiss nipples in 16mm lenght which allow you to use use spokes that are 2mm shorter. The length of the nipple body does not represent the extra thread lenght. 14mm has 1mm extra thread and 16mm has 2mm extra.
On that note , I can custom cut you Sapim race and Sapim sprint in silver from blanks in 0.5mm increments:)
