Not sure whyPeter has an issue with the Metripack connector in the first place and is suggesting such a "fix". Other than being pull-to-seat, which is more difficult to work with, there is nothing inherently wrong with the connectors. They're OE quality and will provide good service for as long as you're going to use them. My guess is, whatever you choose to use on the pigtail extension you plan to make will be of no greater quality than what's already setup to use out of the box.
These specific coils, for COP application they are a royal pain in the arse, as in wrong position and not modular. You have nearly no room to the knock sensor on the Trailing coil for example and the Leading coil its hard to access the connector, thus reasons.

Best is to fuck them off and rewire per rotor pair so they cannot be confused, bit of work but makes for much simpler thing to work on and more reliable too.
