That's exactly what I do.

I always join two shorter hoses. I use a broomstick to clear blockages.

Okay, something that does not appear to have been mentioned is the diameter of the hose. From the photo, the replacement hose appears to be a 27mm. Something this width will be vulnerable to blockages. To remain blockage free, not to mention better performance, you should use a 35/36mm hose to the DD, and 50mm from the DD to the VC.
