I'm considering replacing the ballast with an electronic one in a 6 ft

the lengths of the existing wiring isn't sufficient. I appreciate that
the wire needs heat resistant insulation when running beside the
magnetic ballast but would normal PVC singles be OK with an electronic
ballast?

You should not need high temp wire as the whole object of an EB is
better efficiency.
But if you want you could buy a couple of metres of 3183TQ 0.75mm2 and
strip out the cores.
