if longer nipples did not help with spokes a bit too short, what would be the point for them?
To get the driving flats accessible on rims where the distance from the spoke bed to the rim inner diameter is larger than usual. Used to be an issue on V-shaped cross section aero rims such as CXP33 for example - if you use 12mm nipples, you can't get enough purchase with the spoke key before is clashes with the rim
The FORE-drilled UST rims need 14mm nipples for the same reason

I am sure @cycleclinic will able to advise but if longer nipples did not help with spokes a bit too short, what would be the point for them?
