I've personally used 2 cables over 10 metres from the same graphics card by
just splitting the cable.  I soldered up a plug for the graphics card and
two sockets on the end of short cables.  The 10 metre leads plugged into
that, and there was no noticable drop in quality between that and the short
2m test cable we had.  The displays were 48" plasmas.  I was told by
the AV
engineers who installed it, that the signal would go much further than that
too!  Just my experience...
