my friend and luthier Greg Furlan made a guitar entirely with wood from Lee Valley - they don't sell anything any longer than 24", ... 6 or 8 piece top and back, and 3 piece sides .. he just made the guitar with two 'end blocks', placed partway towards the typical end block position on the lower bouts .. worked fine .. there is no reason that blocks in this position would let go anymore than a std end block would .. just do it. He then prettied it all up with two end grafts at those locations.

There you go. The only answer that wasn't speculation. I retract mine that it would be too difficult to get bends with a but joint in the middle of a bout.
