extending my cables

I need to get my bars higher, and I plan to use a stem raiser. I will
need to extend my cables, too. Here's the question- does anyone make
something like a double-end cap, or a coupler, so I can add on a few
more inches of cable housing? (I want to avoid buying a new set of
cable housing). Thanks in advance.

The stuff costs next to nothing. Splurge and buy a few feet.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to re-tape my bars, that's all. But
you're right- I should do the job the right way.

Ah, forgot about that aspect. Still, new cable & housing is the way to go.

that's the way; one thing you can do is save the handlebar tape until
after you tried your raised bar position for a bit and are happy with
it ( just a few turn of electrical tape to keep the cables down )-
sometimes a new position might seem initially beneficial but might
lead to new problems
