Good luck Jim! Make it happen!
If you do have to run all the hose, just check your pressure at the pump. The gauge pressure leaving the pump is what the pump 'sees' - the pump doesn't know where the water is going or how much hose, just the pressure at the head.
With more hose you will get higher pressure at the same flow than you would through the shorter hose, but as long as you stay in range AT THE HEAD youre fine (a little higher than normal to make up for the extra drop at the end if you want) or run a little slower (less flow) to get your normal pressure - at the head - or run larger tips and keep the flow and pressure (less pressure at the end).
