I wouldn't attempt it unless it's a a very dier situation. If you have a hose rated for the psi the other would need to be as close to the exact length and id of the original line as possible. Any variations would change timing dimension and could potentially damage that cylinder. If you look at your injector lines you should notice the ones closest to the pump still have the same length as the ones that are the furthest away.
