The length of fusible link needed was about 4 ft. long.  Should I have ran a 3ft 9in wire of 10 Ga and then soldered in a 3 inch piece of 14 Ga fusible link?

Most definitely!!! Actually, 10 gauge is light enough for a 100 amp
alternator. Usually the fusible link is nasty to solder too - it is
usually crimped.
