Would it be an issue for the exhaust vent if i flip-flopped the two?
I could run the vent pipe to the opening with no problem, but I don't
want the extra length slowing down the exhaust where it won't vent
properly.

An extra two or three feet of straight run isn't going to
be a significant issue. It may have an impact on the drying
efficiency if you have to make a really tight "S" with the
vent pipe. Again, probaly not too much of an issue if the
total length of the vent (to the outside) is very short.

My own dryer vent has a couple of right angle bends and
then runs another 12 feet through the crawlspace to reach
the outside. That's not ideal but it seems to work quite
well.
