No it probably doesn't matter, but I am just one of those 'must know the way it works' kind of peopl.
There are two ways to tell the warp (length) from the weft (width). One is to look for the selvedges - that's the weft.
If the selvedges have been cut off another way to tell is to stretch a bit between your fingers. The weft usually will have more stretch than the warp.
With that much yardage, if you wanted to use it for sashing or a border, I'd take advantage of cutting it lengthwise.
If your going to cut it into smaller pieces, then it really won't matter how you cut it.
