Is there science in the length of cantilever straddle cable?
As short as possible? A specific length? Follow manufacturer's advice written in the thrown away manual?

It’s called a cantilever brake for a reason. Maximum efficiency is reached when the straddle cable is at 90 degrees to the line from the brake pivot to the cable clamp/anchor
