Do you have a milliohmmeter you can use to measure the resistance? This will give you an accurate number for the increased torque/power you'll get from shortening the motor leads.
Or you can sacrifice a motor, unwind it, and measure the winding length.
I don't think there's much winding wire length on a 17 turn 380!
