I depends both on what gearbox and what diff you've fitted, since the 325 diff is also a beefier unit. It's possible to make the 2.0 prop fit by loosening the middle nut and pushing/pulling the splines apart to change the length, but make sure you mark the two sides first in case you accidentally separate the two halves of a prop. A split prop can only go back together one way, and if you get it wrong it'll be imbalanced.

No way; the Wiki says you can get about 10mm of stretch, not 10cm. The splines themselves aren't 10cm long.
