I don't know what you are talking about. 

I have two R9 290Xs in my system and they don't use a Crossfire connector. They use the PCI-e lanes on the motherboard to Crossfire. You don't need a Crossfire connector to watercool.

 

If you mean the pipe length between the GPU's and their water cooling blocks, that depends on your motherboard. We'd need a picture or the name of the motherboard.

You don't need a crossfire bridge for 290x gpus, I'm not even sure the connector is still on the cards. Are you sure you need it for watercooling? You might not be able to attach it depending on the manifacturer. Also, use a 2 slot connector for 2 cards.

Your gonna need 3 PCI slot length tubes, I believe, between the two red PCI-e slots, and 2 PCI slot length tubes between the Red and Black one.
