If it is a sealed box, there will not be a difference in output. With a ported box, I highly doubt you will notice anything off. I say, go for it.

It's a ported box. Do I need to cut everything that needs to be the same length as the shorter pieces?

Was it more than one plane that was cut short?

I'm pretty sure. Some of them are good but Im not 100% sure because I'm not around them at the moment.

You already have them, I would just go with it. A smaller box will not damage a sub, so only the sound will be affected. You may be happy with it's performance.

How bad is the sound going to be affected? And do I cut about a half inch off where I need to?

Nothing you will notice. Yes, adjust to the shorter planes.
