Put the code you need in just those two or so directories. ;-)
Just what is the problem you have with a long `load-path'?

Dunno what you mean ("for Emacs itself"=?, "evaluates out"=?).
Set your `load-path' in your init file (.emacs) or in some file that you load
from your init file.

Yes, that's fine. But use just (require 'emacs-source). And you will need to put
(provide 'emacs-source) somewhere in emacs-source.el.
But don't bother to byte-compile your init file (.emacs). Keep it short and
sweet. Let it load other stuff (e.g. emacs-source.elc) that loads other stuff.
The other stuff can be byte-compiled.

I don't understand what the issue is. What's wrong with the path being long?

Just use /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el - no need to mention any
individual files you want to load. Assuming the order of directories in your
`load-path' is what you want, you should be able to just have directories there.
`load-path' tells Emacs where to look. `load-library', `load', `load-file', and
`require' tell Emacs which libraries to load. It will look for them by
consulting `load-path'.
HTH.
