I don't know about extending the cords (being a software type), but I
have used my A2000 on its side without any trouble at all, and I didn't
extend the cords because I had it to the right of me (sitting at the desk)
with the drive at the top (i.e., "normal" top of the machine is parallel
to me right calf).  This gave me enough cord for both mouse and keyboard
to use it without extension.
