orchestra drop snake

So here is the question. How many pairs do you guys normally buy/build your snakes for orchestral recordings? It is rare that I use more than 2-4 mics but I used to use the occasional spots that would bring the count up. Anyone going with a modular setup? Say for lack of a better term detachable fans or boxes with various lengths of main snake.

Thanks

Snake/ long throw cable

i plan on using a 8 XLR to XLR snake for a drum kit setup i do know that there is some kind of limit to as how far the "throw/ft" can be. is there any effect on frequency or impedence. i have done some searching on the web and couldnt find any hard answers. i am at work right now i am away from my books so this is racking my brain
thanks in advance
