My experience with SRAM 22 groupsets is that you don't want to cut the cable any shorter, that looks about the right length for the best shifting.
Also I'd tilt the bars down slightly and the shifters up a chunk (BDHU). But that's just me.
If you need padding on the bars, have you considered moving your saddle back a little and trying a shorter stem? It will take weight off your hands.
