Yes, you can shorten or lengthen it as needed by sliding the sections together or apart. Our measurement was the Same as yours. It required separating the two sections, determining where they they needed it, then cutting the two sections with tin snips (easily done) where they couldn't overlap. This Sounds complicated, but will make sense when you look at the actual vent.
