Default Stretch?

How would the long cordage length effect elasticity. Each part is lightly loaded, but would the whole thing stretch or just the length of the lashing?

Say we have a material that stretches 1%, the lashing length is 30", and the total material in the lashing is 300". Would I see 1% of 30" or 300" as stretch? I would guess that the stretch would be closer to 1% of 30", but I can't quite see the physics involved.

thanks,

Bob
