Can I use the rings to take up spare patch-lead length?

Yes, within reason. The rings are useful for controlling service slack and keeping it out of the way.

Avoid repeatedly winding a long lead into tight loops simply to consume surplus length; keep the route relaxed and within the cable's bend-radius requirements.
