Rockler has sale on irwin parallel clamps four for$120. Can I connect the long clamps end to end to create a 7foot reach?

Bessy makes a "clamp extender" which simply allows you to clamp 2 parallel clamps end to end. I don't know if the Bessy would fit the Irwin - worth looking in to though.

Something like this ought to do it.

Jaws used and their orientation would be different but, I'm at work and had to do this quick while I waited for a system to reboot.

I've done them back to back in the past when I needed a quick solution. Worked OK as long as you can handle managing 2 clamps into position. Though those blocks look like a nifty solution as well!
good luck,

The Bessey clamp extender requires the removal of one of the moveable heads so that there is a longer adjustable clamp.

It appears that your suggestion give two clamps at a fixed length appart.
