    A block of hardwood with a couple rods through to keep it from breaking would work. Cut a groove in the face if you want.

    Having a rod extension made would be pretty straightforward. And removable.

    I've found that stock, the wedge doesn't go all the way to the foot on H/ V splitters. You'd need to make it just take up that gap
