Our parts are NOT on the NOT allowed list, and nowhere have we found, to our knowledge, that we needed to use only the parts on from the kit. As long as it is not "hazardous" or otherwise deemed illegal, and it is a COTS part, we see it as perfectly and legitimately legal. A coiled tube is NOT banned from the pneumatics manual or anywhere else. Hope this clarifies any issues.
And our 25 inch cylinders--in case anyone was wondering--are from Parker-Hannifin. "additional cylinders can also be purchased through a Bimba or Parker-Hannifin Distributor." We got ours from Parker, so they are perfectly legal.

Q: In reference to 1609, Are we limited to ONLY using the 20 meters of pneumatic tubing provided in the Kit of Parts? Therefore, we CANNOT use equivalent tubing with equivalent specs, but different colors. Am I correct in this assumption?
A: Correct.
Q: In reference to 1609 and 1641 can we use SMC tubing with the same part number as the tubing that came in the kit only in a different color, much like electric schematics use different colors. If not can we spray paint the tubing?
A: The tubing in the kits was at least 2 colors... blue and black. There may have been additional colors. The tubing should be SMC tubing with TIUB07 on it.
I believe those two questions sufficiently prove that you cannot use that tubing.
And as for your cylinder, see here-

24" stroke is the largest you can have.
