No difference at all.

You will proberly find that someone has replaced one cable before and the other is stretched.

When a cable brakes both cables should be replaced at the same time otherwise you will get the problem you have now.
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

That must be a common thing as I have NEVER seen two hand brake cables the same length...
one is always a lot longer..
I wouldn't have thought that a cable that thick - would stretch !!!!
