speedo cable inner length

How long should the speedo cable inner be?  Specifically, how much cable inner should show at the speedo end?

I bought a Venhill made-to-measure cable.  Their first try fell apart after 15 miles due to shoddy manufacture.  Second try lasted 250 miles - it flicked for a bit, then stopped altogether.  On inspection, the end of the cable has shortened, and it no longer engages with the speedo (chronometric).  The damaged end is around 1/4" projection from the inner cable's end ferule.  How much do I need, and how much is the safe maximum before it endangers the clock?
