Get 1 from either a x16xe mk3 astra, corsa x14xe / x16xe or a tigra x14xe / x16xe.

Corsa x16xe and x14xe are to long. Is a mk3 x16xe shorter?

My C16XE cable is a long one, it was run right round the front of the engine and under the slam panel IIRC. Worked fine, just a little stiffer than normal

Should be exactly the same, only one which should be different is the c16xe. As the c16xe has a different end to it. When you say the x16xe is too long, have you even tried it? I've took a throttle cable from a astra and a corsa and both where same and worked on mine.

general rule with vaux engine swaps is to use the cable corresponding to the engine.
You can obviously choose from many others if the TB ends match.
