I've encountered trouble, I'm supposed to cast down a pipe, which is for the engine heater, but when we pulled the hose, we hadn't measured properly, so the hose is not long enough. I would prefer it to come into the new pipe, but I'm not sure how to achieve this.

I should also mention that there will be electrical cables later in the same green hose, but will need to make a branch a bit earlier.

How would you have done it?

Splice the pipe and a new piece of pipe to the required length?
 
Edit:
The hose, not the pipe.

The roof has hit me, the problem is that I haven't found anyone around here who sells by the meter, only entire rolls:(
 
Have you kindly asked your electrician/building supply store if they have any scrap pieces?
Rarely impossible :)

This is how it looks at home now, but I plan to stick the hose up in the Stolepn for the engine heater.

But how do I get electricity to the lamps?

As I see it, there are at least 2 options

1. Run a new hose between each lamp. Then the power will go to the lamps, starting with lamp 1 (the one on the right).
2. Make a branch on the current hose, run the hose between the lamps, it will be a cable without a hose then. bit certain

HELP I'm going crazy with this stuff.
 
If you are going to make one or more branches, you need to have a connection point there. How else will you get the cable to go the right way when you pull it after backfilling?

I would have chosen to feed the lights with a new conduit from the pole, perhaps with a smaller dimension.
