what are you using for snake wire?  At work we use mogami which the rubber sleeve over the 8 channel snake allows for maximum play. Cut off a little ans slide it back. Solder wires and slide forward. oh yeah and use heat shrink over each wire and  pin to prevent shorts
 
What are you using for your DB 25 connector & housing? What brand and source?

I was browsing connector housings to find one that will easily accomodate an 8 pair Mogami snake cable and the task can be frustrating on my slow interweb connection.
 
sometimes i start by soldering CH1 and CH8 to their pins. then i solder #2 to #7. This way you will find the right length you'll need to trim, more easily because you should trim the middle channels to release pressure to the soldering on all channels... but this depends on what cable im using...
Sometimes i just forget this technique... hehehehe
Cheers
