I'm going to make a SSTC with such a construction that the length of the wire from the chips to the 1st GDT is not equal to the length of the wire to the 2nd GDT. My question is: will it affect operation of SSTC?

Not much at all, unless the length difference is very significant, like, many tens of centimetres. Sounds like you're using one chip to drive two paralleled GDT's - even that should be fine. Just try to generally keep the wiring paths (current loops) outside of the GDT cores as short as possible, and twist wire pairs together to reduce "leakage" i.e. series inductance. Although for a lowish drive frequency (for example <300kHz) all these extra precautions are pretty much unnecessary...
