Others have provided the lengths and part numbers so I'll leave that out.

With each increase in length the cables get substantially thicker and
(at least in the case of >50cm - haven't ever priced that one) double
in price.

I don't know if the current docs cover this, but looping the included
cable between vcp-0 and vcp-1 on a standalone EX4200 gives you a
second path between PFEs (which can save you a hop across a PFE in
some cases).  That, plus it's a great place to store it in case you
might need it later.
