If so I never thought of it that way as I always imagined the wires had to be cut and spliced in hence my confusion.

When I first did mine, I simply cut-n-spliced the wires on the o2 sensors to lengthen them. That was all fine-n-dandy until I had a sensor fail, and then the next sensor I put in was either bad out of the box (it was a Bosch, so unlikely) or i damaged it when extending the wires.
So I built the extension cables, the way pilot4fun did. (In fact I think I used his part numbers to order the connectors?!) Now I don't have to worry about suspect solder-joints creating impedance that throws-off the sensor. AND - I can simply replace the O2 sensor with a new one next time, rather than have to extend wires again.
It's worth it, in my opinion, to do the extension cables the first time.
