It won't cause balance issues, but will tend to increase charge time.

The balance readings are affected by not only the voltage drop across the small balance wires, but now also across the long main wires carrying higher current going to the pack from the charger. In many cases it may be considered negligible, but if using the 30 amp capability of the charger with long wires it may be significant.
