Can I install a 90 degree elbow straight out of the stove? It would allow me to use the existing horizontal exhaust spindle, instead of cutting another hole in the workshop.

I downloaded the manual and it is silent on this specific point. It does allow for horizontal exhaust pipes. It just doesn't say whether there should/must be a vertical run before turning horizontal.
IF it's NOT SPECIFICALLY stated that it is unacceptable to start with a 90 degree elbow DIRECTLY off the appliance,
then I would give it a shot. You will be restricting the exhaust flow by 30 - 50%, but with a short run you should be ok.
