Electric fence net customization / integration

Greetings!

I'm thinking ahead about farm design with respect to access, water, and fencing for (future) animals.  I'm doodling out where vehicle and bike/cart lanes naturally fit, and thinking about patterns and appropriate fence materials for lanes and cells for paddock-shift  -- poultry, rabbits, ruminants, pigs.  But currently I'm focusing more on non-permanent solutions.

1) With respect to electric netting, how easy is it to modify the length and make multiple smaller segments out of a few longer nets?  Is this common practice?

My understanding is that netting usually comes in 100ft or 164ft lengths.  But if I were doing a small leader-follower system with many chickens following a few sheep (or pigs) following new fresh pasture or garden areas, I imagine I would ideally want multiple segments, perhaps upwards of ten segments so as to maintain cell containment while tessellating and translating across the landscape.  What am I missing here?  Do folks really use that many nets?

2) When thinking about shifting poultry into non-adjacent cells and paddocks (perhaps hundreds of feet away into an enclosed garden), are there elegant temporary* lane systems/materials other than electric netting?

*By that I mean, instead of putting the poultry into an Eggmobile or Salatin-style pen and moving or skidding the machine, one is simply networking the paddocks or cells, and opening a gate, like a chicken moat.  I'm curious about long temporary lanes as opposed to permanent hedges or wooden+woven wire fencing. Thanks!

Pretty easy, I believe. I own and have in use lots of various electric net style portable fence, and I think it would be rather easy to cut the strands and then tie them together making shorter segments out of one long section.

It also comes in 82ft and 50ft lengths, depending on the type.

Some rotational grazing supply companies also have non electric temporary netting, which I believe may work well for a chicken alley. Check out premier1 supplies, they have a good selection.
