I don't think so either. At all. Although going from 660 to 640 is almost an inch in length, you'll most likely perceive that change, playability wise, as very welcome.
The long scale was mostly introduced to cater to Segovia and the legion of concert level classical students and performers that he inspired. With a handle name like slimgeezer, I'm guessing you also don't have thick chubby fingers like he did.

The Pavans should all have the flat fingeboard and standard 2" or so classical nut width.
How much wider is the spacing at the nut on your long scale?

It can't be much more than a few mm above that. If so, that shouldn't be an issue for you either I would think. Even with high tension strings.
