Thanks to those who answered the question... it's unbelievable how many people on this site have nothing to do but flame.

No, what is unbelievable is twofold:

1. Given a shoulder-length sling and a set of quickdraws, you couldn't figure out how to make a long draw using just the sling and two biners; and

2. There were actually people on the site willing to pander to your stupidity.

In reply to:
Anyways, would it ever be acceptable to use cord like a prussik loop to extend this draw if this problem was not realized until the leader was already half way up the climb and only had a prussik loop?

Standard 7-mm perlon cord is strong enough to be used as a runner. Other cord? Look up the rated strength and compare it with the strength of a quickdraw.

Edit: To your credit—and I'm serious—at least you've realized that l33t is not a "language" that educated English speakers use to discuss serious questions.

Edit 2: Basically GUed by acorneau.
