I was thinking of making final connection (run behind the oven

the oven complete, in the oven housing.

If the supplied instructions say that's okay then no problem.

But I doubt they do advise 10mm - it's too small a diameter to provide
adequate gas flow IMHO. More likely to be 15mm minimum.

What's the deal with bending easily? Anything which bends easily has
the capacity to rupture, which is not ideal in a gas carrying
environment. If the route isn't straight then bends and joints in 15mm
is no hard thing to do. And you may even be able to get a flexible
15mm pipe to do the job (but do not use those supplied for water
fittings!).
