I think it would be fairly safe to take Mr. Mercurio's explanation. The coax isn't used for any sort of timing/phasing or impedance matching, it's just to get the signal to the antenna. One possibility about that 4 meter length, or 17' 4" length is that European cars are shorter than in the USA? Or that a meter stick happens to be what they were measuring the feed line's length with?
Using the length that reaches comfortably from here to there is the correct length for almost all installations. The exceptions to that don't apply here.
