The dual row straight headers are available up to 72 pins (total, 2 rows of 36). The longest pins are 0.318" on one side, and 0.520" on the other. This should be long enough to take a connector on the 0.318" side, and penetrate a 1/16" board with enough length left to accept another connector on the 0.520" side. Try part number S2252-36-ND (tin plated pins). Gold pins cost more. The manufacturer is Sullins. The pins are 0.025" square. Part numbers are made up from the number of pins, plating type, configuration (straight or right angle, dual or single row), and lengths of pins on each side.
