Ron, When stretching the fuselage, you do not need extra longerons just longer ones. Make sure when you buy your spruce kit that the longeron material is sufficient in length. You should avoid splicing or scarfing the longerons at all cost. This is also true of your cross members. There have been some planes built with spliced longerons and cross bars but it is best not to. Just do a few simple calculations and make sure you order the correct spruce for the job.
