to limit the maximum current between the battery banks, it protects the relay contacts. 'They' calculated what resistance is needed not to exceed the contacts rating. Simplest solution; a wire that limits the current by its resistance.
You are correct that when the goal is to get the juice to a piece of gear fatter cable, shorter run is better.

I can't think of any practical situation where a little too big is not good and the shorter runs are better too.

From memory, a minimum length of 6 feet and maximum size of 6 SWG. (please check before using this info.)
