So we scurried down to Home Depot with a set of calipers and came back with this electrical conduit corner piece. The plan is to basically cut it in half and slide it on over the end of the oil extension tube that you can see in my other hand.

And viola! It's done! Now the tube should be long enough and have plenty of angle on the end.

Perfect! Now we just need to put the strainer plate back on and we'll be all set. One note here; Gene Berg (Volkswagen Guru) says that the intake screen can cause too much restriction for the oil pump. They recommend a tube shaped cow magnet slipped around the oil tube. We used three 1/2" magnets stuck on the steel strainer plate instead.
