You could use ordinary phono plug female-female adapters; I have done this with no problem. It is better to get a set of cables of the right length, since theoretically the adapters can affect the signal. If they did, I could not see it. If you are contemplating a long run of component cable (more than 15'), it is very important to get the highest quality cable. The best cable to use is Belden 8281B; it is designed for wide band video and is used professionally in studios for runs of 100' or more. I doubt if you can find pre-made cables made with this, but you can get crimp-on connectors and a tool all for much less than the high-end pre-made cables. This is what I have done for a cable run of 35' with excellent results (test-pattern verified full bandwidth transmission).

A little more specific info would be great! But with what you have given, the honest answer is, don't extend any signals any further than you need to. If you have to amplify any signals, you amplify the bad with the good, and over a long run, the bad will basically start to outweigh the good. If you think you need to amplify the signal of a component signal, consider puting that signal closer to the video device you are sending the signal to!
