I have a program that takes coordinates of ICs and/or
connectors and a net list and creates a wiring list for
first-level and 2nd level wires with shortest length.
It tells what length wire to use.
It is written in Pascal, and uses a genetic algorithm to
find the shortest path. Sometimes that doesn't give the
best wire routing, but it tries. I have not used this
program in several decades, but I'd be glad to give it to you.

By the way,
the earth is round...
I'm glad we can agree on this. Of course the Earth is round.
It's also hollow.
To try and turn this thread around: I'm looking to make an
extended memory controller for my pdp8/L. I've got a wire
wrap backplane and enough cards to make it work but I've
never done wire-wrap on this sort of scale.
I've got an old Radio Shack Wire wrap tool and a lot of
wire. Is there any sites that discuss how to do reasonable
wire-wrapping?
