I pretty much have to agree with all of this. The two I did awhile back were done with extra lengths on each of the feeds/outgoing just so it could all be slipped in after it was completely hooked up. Just be careful not to cause a bind in any of it as youre sliding the dish hider in place.

I also wouldnt worry too much about the Pergo. Go find a few pieces that match what you have and keep them around. if anything should require you to pop part of it out, it should be a (literal) snap to replace the pieces so you could never tell. Pergo is pretty forgiving that way.
