Brake lines - splice in sections, or make up whole new ones?

I did mine the same as your picture. I then compressed the flange.

Removed it and double checked to see if the flange had compressed shut. A few did and I just used a small drill bit to open it up.

Not sure if thats the right way but it worked and didnt leak

Didn't think of doing this... but no problems with bleeding the brakes, so I guess that means none of em were completely compressed shut.

Sorted out a fuel leak, got the emissions down (from 8%!  ), and took out the rear seats, then drove to the MOT station for sill-welding, a new exhaust hangar, and a retest.

Got my green sheet, so I'm happy  .  Was intrigued to see that the station had failed the lack of rear exhaust hangar (I just had a jubilee clip).  I thought they were going to weld a new one on for me, but they just put a couple of cable ties on!!
