    Is it acceptable practice to crimp a cpc with through crimps to extend it?

    It depends on the detail - if the crimp is suitable for the particular size and type (e.g. stranding) of the conductor, and crimped according to the manufacturer's instructions then yes. If it's more of the "automotive" type crimps on a solid c.p.c. done with a pair of cheap "pliers" type crimp tool, then probably not.
