Officially no. Unofficially the splitter is only needed for the voice bit, your DSL modem can handle anything thrown at it, so you can plug straight from the BT socket buried deep in the stack into your modem. You will need to find or make a suitable cable.

you can swap out the face plate in a couple of minutes for a more curvy one. only way to reduce depth is probably a low profile back box and not sure theres enough clearance in those.

A less disruptive option would be to use a wood effect trunking or wooden conduit profile like this:
to cover the yellow cable run to under the desk. Then drill a hole in the back of the desk and connect to a multiplug under the silver box. (you can take the plug off to run the wire through the hole and trim to length.
Then replace that ethernet(?) wire with a custom length one (or bought near to the correct length) and use adhesive clips to attach it.
