Those are reusable ends.
Unscrew the red part and slide it back. DON'T TAKE IT OFF, they're a bitch to slide on over stainless steel lines.
Figure out where you want to cut the line, and VERY tightly wrap electrical tap around it. Cut in the middle of the tape. The tape holds the weave together while you cut.
Shove the blue part in, slide red part up to it and tighten it up.

I cut AN line with a chisel and a sledgehammer. I have yet to find a cleaner way that doesn't produce a ton of metal shavings inside the hose.

The standard drain location at the front of the pan is used because it's really the only place you can drill while the engine is in the car. If you've got it on an engine stand, it works much better to put the drain fitting between the motor mount and the subframe, almost directly below the turbo. Like this:
I dunno if it's worth pulling the oil pan off again to move it, but it does clean things up a lot.

Your oil drain looks better, but a 45* adapter between the pan and the drain line would be even better.
Like an Earl's 924110 available about halfway down the page here:

You can find them cheaper if you look around ebay, Summit or even on that website.
