Do they make longer bars for the Profile T2 clip ons?  I have the pads in a comfortable location, but the bars won't go any further forward and I still need 4-6" of reach.  Do I just need to buy new clip ons or does Profile make a longer set of bars?

Not to be a wise-a**, but are you really, really tall?  I used to use the T2's, and when fully extended they fit me with some room to spare, and I'm 6'3".  If you're 4-6" short, that's ALOT, and you may have other fit issues.

I am also 6'3" and ride T2 aerobars and they fit great in terms of length. There are some other models that have length adjustments (don't remember who makes them off hand). Since the length between your elbow and your hand is fixed, I'm not sure what could be the issue. Long forearm I guess?

Im 6'7" and tried them but did not like the bend and had plenty of room.  I would get a bike fitting.

I'm replacing my 250mm Visiontech aerobars on my P2 with 270mm. But that's ~3/4 of an inch, not 4" to 6". And these Visiontechs have no length adjustment.

Nope, 5'11" and I don't have the arms of an ape. Sounds like I need another fitting.
