Understand.

Ouch !
Any slack in the wiring to allow behind-the-panel access without too 
much hassle ?

Then as advised, keeping the excess length neatly stored in a loop seems 
the way to go.
Please note that to minimize interference issues, the smaller the area 
of the loop the better. That is while preserving safe bending radius for 
the coax.
You can also twist the loop in a figure 8 without stressing the coax.

All the best,
