Does size matter?

G'Day, It's me again, still working on setting up my 60 x 24 x 24 INCH Aquarium.
My question, as I have not received my tank yet, would 54w T5's 1150mm ( 45 inch ) be OK as they would be 7 inch short of each end of a 60" tank or should I try to source a longer tube. I am looking to run 3 or 4 T5s
Cheers
 
Might not be quite as relevant with T5's, however even with the largest T8's I can fit inside the hood of my aquarium, I get noticeably reduced plant growth to the left/right of the tank - these areas have no actual tube above them, and the plants in these areas don't grow quite as well as the rest of the tank.
