I wouldn't get too hung up on cadence. For one thing I think it's something which can increase with improved running fitness and efficiency (which itself will come from lots of miles), but also there's quite a bit of variance in cadence away from any supposed optimum. Particularly given your height, low cadence + long stride length will get you there quick enough. If you ever saw my club mate John Gilbert (Southern XC champion, 2:15 marathon runner, 6'2ish??) lolloping along you'd know low cadence can work pretty well!
