I disagree with PCXdemon. If someone can prove me wrong that has actually stretched their bike, I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong.
I have also had my engine out, and I cannot fathom how the cables would possibly reach. There was very little slack in anything, including all the wiring, fuel lines, and throttle.
I don't know of any users in the US or UK that have done PCX stretches. You might be able to ask on totalruckus, that site is really popular for stretched Ruckuses, and I know a few PCXes are over there. They might be able to give you better advise.

Its one of these jobs that require mates rates or do it yourself. It would cost a fortune for a garage to do a mod like this as you couldn't probably put a time on it. It takes as long as it takes.

Exactly. Remember Valiant. Touch of irony in the name...

find a mate that wouldn't charge you. Or at least only charges in beers
Tbh I'd like to see you get it done. It'd be a first over here
