Why don't you cut your 36 ex film in the lengths you need? On my workbench I have marked the length of a 36 ex film and also the position of several exposure numbers. If I need to do a test of say 10 exposures I put a piece of sticky tape on the workbench at about exposure 12, (two frames of film is enough for the film hanger). This distance mark is quite easy to feel in the dark, and when loading the film I cut it at that mark. Afterwards I mark the cassette and cut the film leader using an old (or a new!) film to get the correct shape. Never had a problem.
