The extra wires are for TTL metering and other camera/flash comms. They won't be any use between Canon & Nikon hardware (the comms protocols will be different) and won't carry any significant electricity so no hazard. Even so it's probably as well to insulate the ends after cutting them - just in case they give rogue signals to your hardware.
