True, you don't "tune" the antenna with cable length, but you need a
certain amount of it to properly tune the antenna. My memory is
rusty and I'd have to go dig out the books, but I think you should
have a 1/2 wavelength or so in cable length. Maybe it's a 1/4 ....
can't remember. Too short will cause the antenna not to load
properly (assuming it is the correct length) and result in an
excessive SWR value that reduces effective transmitted power and, in
the worst situation, cause damage to the output stage of the radio.

Nope. All wrong. You don't need any cable at all. There is absolutely NO
REASON to measure cable length to the multiple of any length....once the
CBers leave the building.
