I come back after a day, 18 replies: 17 are non-germane to the original question (usual for on-line forums) and yours. You are correct, fabbing something is an option -- my wife sews well enough but heavier materials can be a challenge. Was hoping that someone made a longer bags by a couple inches. Possibly, a "protuberance" to my existing bag will give me the extra three inches and not look too strange.
So far, the only thing wrong I see with the Topeak pump other than it's non-C&V-ness, is that it's too short to whack dogs (honestly, it has been a long time since I've needed to whack a dog)... here's comes a dozen why-would-you-whack-a-dog posts.
