Yep, you should be fine, but I wouldn't want to go too much longer with unbalanced runs. Just use something with good shielding, and maybe look for something with low capacitance (anything under 20pF/ft. is good).
keep them away from other A/C wiring, light fixtures/switches, junction boxes, etc. as much as possible as well.
Also, I'd amend my previous DIY recommendation to just use your choice of decent 75Ω coax for
any unbalanced RCA interconnects (Mogami 2546, Belden 9259, Canare 77S, etc.).
It's typically well shielded with low capacitance, which is well suited for the task. The additional benefit is that you can use it for digital (S/PDIF) runs as well.
Or, if you don't want to go the DIY route, there are plenty of cable "assemblers" that make interconnects using quality cable (Mogami/Belden/Canare). That way you know exactly what cable you are getting, and can reference the specs.
It is a better alternative to the unknown quanity/quality of most "premium" retail offerings IMO.
Here are a couple of reputable vendors with decent pricing. Both will make custom cables as well:
Pro Audio LA
Redco
Or you might check Monoprice as suggested, or some of the large online wholesale type companies like Mouser, Full Compas, Sweetwater, etc.
They might have decent deals on the OEM stuff from the aforementioned cable manufacturers.
