OK. I'll keep an eye out / do some searching during my afternoon procrastinating.
It's also annoying that someone doesn't just make a longer version of the stock Makita one. It's not exactly complicated engineering.
EDIT: found this one for £50 - that's the one right?

By the time you want to make a cut that far into the board you can use a straight piece of timber or better still a rail clamped to the board. Something like a spirit level might work.
Before track saws that's how a lot of carpenters cut sheet goods on site.

I knocked this up for total cost of about £12 before I bought a track saw, advantage over wood is it glides better and doesn’t wear out:

there's a million guides on YT for the home-made ones, but the principle is that you're using the factory edge of a board as your fence.
