The CAA work out the distance based on straight lines between the aerodromes. They don't care that your actual flight might be 350nm. Mine's probably longer still, once you take into account travelling around London and my various doglegs.
Don't worry, I'm not planning to have an argument with the CAA.
It's interesting to hear that the CAA accepted Smith's xcq because it was annotated in his logbook. There was a previous thread on doing just that a few weeks/months back and the original poster was shot down in flames for suggesting that he might do just that.
