Isn't there a simpler way?

You can buy single pin hotshoe-to-hotshoe cords, which gives the connection you need without soldering. Here's a 16-foot from Flash Zebra. You can daisy chain for more length.

Or you could cut and splice that without having to deal with extra wires.

Or you can get hotshoe to miniphone adapters and then use audio cables, available up to 100 feet.

Note that similar products are available from multiple sources -- these are just two picked as examples from the first page of a google search.
