Keeping them parallel is important to calibration as is overall exposed surface area. As the electrodes get shorter, the PPM settings will go up and current density on the electrode will go up increasing the possibility of making yellow batches. As they get thinner and thinner, keeping them parallel gets harder and harder. They're pretty thin to start with.
As long as the electrodes are nearly full length and you can still handle them, they're good. The rounding of the corners actually improves edge discharge problems making the effective current density more uniform over the whole electrode. Square corners discharge many more ions per square inch than rounded shapes. That's why they eventually get rounded. ..and all of the above is why I don't use silver ribbon material for electrodes.
