You’re almost there.
If what you want is tubes of the same length shifted along their length by random amounts,
instead of using Random for the lengths, use a single value,
then use a Move component on the lines with the input vector being that 45 degree angled vector multiplied by a random number.

Another option of first scaling the lines and then rotating.
