Yeah - a long time ago you could get some extenders - basically metal brackets that let you locate the mirrors a bit further out.
Not a particularly elegant solution but I guess reasonably effective - particularly if you are towing a caravan.

Haven't seen a set of them come up for sale for years.

More recently we found the longer RS125 mirrors fit the Falco and I think they are a much better solution.
Be aware that there are 2 types of mirror for the RS125 - these longer ones and also the standard length ones - don't buy the wrong ones.

Can something be made? No idea what it looks like (or the mountings for Falco mirrors) mind.

I've got a picture of them (see below) but honestly I'd not bother now we've found the RS125 ones

Just thought may give the extenders a try after i brought some nice new standard mirrors over winter.Looked for the longer ones at the time,but was a bit slow on the up take when you lot got yours cheap.Perhaps i should have persevered.Cant think that the extenders are going to look that great.Pitty after 100 odd years of bike development the mirrors on alot of bikes are next to useless.

Manufacturers seem to be more concerned with aerodynamics and aesthetics than ergonomics nowadays as far as mirrors go.
