Patrick, 
   You should be able to find 50 foot rolls.  May call around or even see if
Home Depot can order one for you.   You can connect rolls by soldering.  You
will need to find a piece of solderable metal(about an inch long) that fits
snugly inside the tubing and perhaps tin it prior to soldering it to the
tubing.  If the tubing has a 'lip' inside from a tubing cutter, you will have
to ream it.
