Shorter length = lower resistance = slightly higher speed.
Depending on where the the change is could effect both speed 1 and speed 
2 or just speed 1. The higher speed on start-up is harder on the 
operator (tendency to lurch forward) and harder on the motor (higher 
inrush current). And also harder on the remaining resistor which is now 
going to run a little warmer. The extent of the impact all depends on 
how much cut off and how hard you drive it.

An yes, I carry replacement ribbon resistors at ETS (I'll send details 
direct).
