IME the worms are a get-you-home option; on MTB tyres it doesn't matter that the worms poke out, as the knobbly tyre bits compensate for the protrusion, but on a road tyre you really fucking notice it, regardless of the pressure. In a perfect world you can cut them so they're just sticking out (they flatten over time and go hard, once you've doused them in solution), but you have to get a good sharp blade because it's quite easy to accidentally pull the worm back out.
Oh, and like a previous poster suggested, you can trim them vertically and horizontally because the size they come in is often far larger than is required to fill the hole.

A proper video is being shot tomorrow by someone who does videos and photos for the army. Got to remember my dad shot that video. Me and my dad have never been good a video's.
I trim the ends of the worms of when I get back. the less I can put in my back pocket the better.

Like the @cycleclinic 's demo of caffelatex and worms. However A) could have done with holding the phone the right way round, and a lot closer to the tyre - no need to frame the whole guy all the time and B) a couple of very-close-ups of what you were doing with the worm/applicator before and during insertion wouldn't have hurt. I can't see what you're doing at all. Less gabbling about your injuries and show more please.
But overall a helpful sales pitch/instructional. Off to buy some flexy
superglue. Can anyone tell me why you'd stick a great long worm in if the ends are then sticking way out? Couldn't you cut them shorter? I think I'll have to carry some nail clippers for trimming worm ends if was riding a bit far from home.
