If I cut a strap like this to do extra long pieces, and I use Latigo leather, can I expect it to pull into a straight lead if I soak it? Just curious if the soaking will soften it enough given all the oil in the leather?

Water can not penetrate oil impregnated leather. If you use latigo it will stretch. Use English bridle or Herman Oak, harness leather is a good choice too. 10/12 oz. you can straighten it after you cut it out. Anchor one end and pull on the other end then swap them around and do it again.
