Is that safe?

Yes as you have disconnected the leads from the battery, power comes from the battery not the leads. Some components store energy which can muck things up on reconnection, the hard reset dissipates any stored energy.

The leads don't reach each other

Hmm, does it have a lead connected to the positive lead with a 10mm nut?

Yes

Try removing the nut and separate the lead and connector, does this give you more wire to work with, can they touch now?

Failing that bridge the gap with a spanner/ socket extension, do cover the positive terminal first though just in case.

I've touched them both for around 20 seconds. Just reconnecting

Ok. Did all that. Wouldn't start. Connected code reader, connected no problem. Then managed to get the car to start. No codes found. Just leaving it to run for a bit
