A tip that has been shared here a few times, but not recently, is to simplify cutting 88 loop lengths... wrap the cord around a dowel which has a circumference of the length you need. Make 90-100 wraps, then make one straight cut with a razor blade down the length of the dowel. Voilà, replacement loop cord lengths.
