Assuming you're running the brake cables along the front of the bar and the gear cables along the back, it would tidy it up to have the brakes in front of the gears.
So if you were looking down from the saddle, you would see the front brake cable at the front, the rear brake behind that, then the front derailleur and the rear derailleur at the back.
You could then shorten the front derailleur outer and the rear would enter the stop more directly. The rear brake outer looks a bit long too (and the front inner a bit short).
Apologies if this is just a mock-up and you knew that already.
Is there a cable pr0n thread?
