You will say that until the moment that such a cable cranks the contacts 
out of the socket.
The sockets are not made to stand the lever forces caused by such a long 
"plug". I definitely advise against the usage of adaptors and piggyback 
plugs in jack sockets. You can do this with banana jacks (they are 
constructed for that), but don't do it with 3.5mm or 6.3mm audio jacks.

Expensive though. :(  And TipTop owns the patent so we might not see cheaper clones from other manufacturers.

Personally speaking I don't think you could stack more than two of those plugs on a vertically mounted module without putting undue strain on the 3.5 mm socket, in which case a Y-cable would probably serve better.

Opinions?

I agree with the fears of putting too much strain on the sockets. I get away from this problem by using the cheaper and just as flexible solution of using a Y-cord. I make mine myself. Just get your longest patch cord and cut it in half. Connect the cut ends to one male plug and there you have it. If you want to stack more than two connections, make a y-cord with one male connected to a long male and a shorter female. They can be chained in many ways and can extend the length of the cables too. The angle and strain of the connection to the panel is still only one plug.
