Bespoke made multicore cables can be very handy for some projects. Have you thought about using silicone tubing as an alternative to the cotton braid?

I imagine it won't expand, so will have to be sized accordingly, but the right stiff should be soft and flexible.

A quick scan of eBay shows a couple of offerings;

Silicone tubing

Rubber tubing

Plenty more out there though of differing sizes of diameter and wall thickness.

Kind regards
