If it is easy to do, go with the single lenght. Less connector losses and 
chances of failure due to water ingress or corrosion etc.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Antenna coax length

My repeater antenna is up in a tree. The tree is growing and putting pressure 
on the coax. I'm using Cablexperts CXP1318F and have had good luck. My cable is 
now 50ft. I need to move to the 75ft length prebuilt. Am I going to have a 
heavy loss when I add the 25ft? I could make a 65ft cable. Would that be 
better? Thanks for the help.

Greg  , That is the Same as LMR-400 Put that in the Calculator and Check I
did not  see your Freq  posted ,  Good advice  use one piece Connectors
/splice Etc . will give a big loss depending on the Freq  hope this helps
