I know stinger makes them for 4 AWG, so I would assume they make them for 0 as well, but if they don't I'm sure another install accesory company does.

no problem, they should work well, but if it were me, and it was such a problem and needed that extra foot of wire, I'd run another line.

At some point you would likely lose points or at least have to explain why you have a fuse in the ground cable. Electrically it is no big deal but some people are dumb.
