I don't mean when free-kicks are 18-25 yards out but rather for free-kicks that are any further out.

Surely the keeper would have a better chance of saving it if he can see it coming? And, besides, it'd have to be a hell of a hit for it to go in from there. Less chance of a deflection too.

What happens if the attaching team form one then, the keeper still wouldn't see it

On a vaguely-related subject: if the corner-taker didn't raise his right hand, would the corner go anywhere different?

No. One of our lot would still over hit it.

I think that signal means 'Get ready to pick up the scraps, this one will fail to beat the first man'.
