For a diagnal stripe, does it matter the amount of columns you use to make the stripes "perfect"?

I have made stripes with a latter before and I know it's not the same, but because of the size of my wrist, I had to stop the pattern to finish and the stripes weren't perfect. it was almost as if a zig zag, etc was going to form. to finish the row, I would have needed 3 or 4 more columns. But if I did that the bracelet would have been way too big. Is there a certain amount of colors/rows that need to have the stripes perfect with each other so the stripe doesnt get cut off and it fits my wrist (like using __ amount of colors; ex. if 4 colors would work; so i would make a number of rows that are divisible by 4 etc.) THANK YOU!
