I'd have to imagine Tandems use cable housimngs as well as cables. Possibly what you seek is already on the market?
I know a lot of bikes use only short sections of housing and run a lot of exposed wire, which I guess saves some weight and friction.
Otherwise ... market forces. if enough people wanted the product, it would be sold. I'd guess not a lot of people need extra-long cable housings, so companies couldn't make money selling them. Can't expect a company to lose money.
