If it were a 40 foot set, you could give a foot or two, but if you measured less, you may have a problem, at the end of the crosses. The Long side is the other half of the Mains and all of the Crosses.

Usually those 8 lengths are long enough, because of stretch, you should have a foot or more cut off. On the short side tie off. Since you are doing a one piece, you could give an extra foot.
 
So i am doing a one piece on my new stringer and i am done with the mains and not sure how to do the crosses, where do i put the clamps?

You will have to do the first 2 crosses, pull, and then clamp them to eachother. Make sure to wiggle the crosses when you are pulling 2 at once (and this should be the only time you do) to get the tension as close as possible. Then pull 3rd cross and clamp it to the 2nd.

Oh right. I've never came around doing a 1 piece. The only time i did it was when a customer asked me to specifically do a 1 piece stringjob which got me scratching my head wondering why he would specifically ask that instead of having just any kind of stringing done on the racquet. Maybe tension maintenance? I don't know. Just never bothered with it.

You're better off doing a two piece with the machine you have. If you ever upgrade to a Fixed Clamp machine, you will appriciate the Fixed Clamp machine much more.

No you don't but it depends on what racket you are stringing.
