The connectors you are looking for are available at 4UCON in China. However, there is a minimum order of 1000 of them. I need a significant number for a project I'm currently getting up and running and I was thinking about ordering them (and selling the extras that I didn't need), but there was a 42 day delivery lag. What I ended up doing in the meantime was ordering the arduino stackable header kit from sparkfun. This consists of two 1x8 pin and two 1x6 pin headers with these long leads. I clipped off one of the pins from the 6 pin item to generate a combination that would work with the Pi. The cost of these was $1.50 for the set.
