Question clutch cable length?

wondering how long my cables have to be. Would like to go to 12''- 14'' apes without changing cables. My clutch cable is 67'' long, stock is 62 11/64. Any help would be great! Right now i have beach bars 35.5 inches wide.

I don't see it happening.
You'd need at least +6, more likely +8 cables.
Gotta stretch the wires, too.
