[Roadsters] brake line question

I made the line that runs from the junction on the rear axle to the rear right wheel. I made it a few inches too long on purpose so I would have extra length in case the flares I made didn't seal and I had to cut one or both off and re-flare the end.
Both flares sealed just fine---YEEAAAAAA!! However, in order to get the line to connect on both ends, I bent the line upwards, across and back down and made a sort of half hoop to take up the extra line.
I then bled the brakes, starting with the farthest wheel, etc. I was unable to get a firm pedal and had to stop shortly after doing the last brake (ran out of time).
Is this "half hoop" going to hold an air bubble, or is the brake fluid going to be thick enough to push all the air out?
Thanks and sorry to be so verbose.
