Oh wow, Leah! In theory that *shouldn't* matter, I don't think. It's coaxial wire, so there should be minimal electrical impedance (if that were a double strand though, definitely no bueno). The wraps around the forks also shouldn't be issue (for coaxial or double). The additional resistance from the excess copper I'm also guessing is minimal. But again, you should try disconnecting the rear light in order to troubleshoot!
But Oh Man, either way, please get someone to cut that wire to somewhat of a proper length! It's just asking for trouble and detracts from the otherwise great looks! You can always leave it a bit long: this gives you leeway for trimming more later, moving to a different bike (unlikely in your case i feel :), or changing things around. There is a neat way to deal with excess wire by wrapping it around a thin rod (like a screw driver or pencil); it will retain the coil shape (especially if you apply a little bit of heat while doing it). The coil will act like a little slinky, but can be straight out later if desired. It's funny, other than the bird's nest, the wiring doesn't actually look that bad. There is a nice looking grommet going into the fender, everything appears coaxial, and you even have the SON coaxial connector! I'd be interested in seeing a close up of the wiring around the fork and in the fender though!
