Ebay kit, gas strut for left barn door
I'm going to give this a go, hopefully better than the bit of pipe I'm currently using to sandwich between the doors

I haven't installed a gas strut on mine, but I'd say if you did the gas strut first, then fitted the extension bracket the strut extension would probably still work fine.
The instructions also say "Lift up strut so ball stud is touching the middle of the panel on the underside of the door. Make a mark 10 to 20mm towards the body of the car in the middle of the panel. (This is so the strut isn’t fully extended when door is open)"
So you'd have a bit of extension play if you followed that guide, and the extension hinge wouldn't add much more than 10mm I would think.
