Outdoor Research carries a multitude of weird-sized stuff sacks - plain, padded and even with zippers down the long sides to minimize struggling with unwieldy gear in tight spaces. http://www.outdoorresearch.com/home/category/home/storage/storage_stuffsacks Or, sew your own. I like padded ones for stuff that can bend or rattle, mesh where I want to see the contents withiut unpacking.
I have a collection of miscellaneous tent poles, lantern stands, hiking staffs, light stands, tripods and other long skinny things that I take camping.* For e-z packing, I'd like to slip them all into a nylon stuff sack -- maybe 6'' diameter, 40'' long. Such sacks usually come with cheap family-sized WalMart tents, but that seems a wasteful way to go about getting one. Anyone know of a source for oddly-sized stuff sacks and duffles? * A fellow never knows when he'll be called upon to erect a canopy or something.
