If I use the 75" plus a 55" connected I get a 130 inch guide which is way
more than I want. But I want the 55" for cross cutting a 4X8 panel.

What kinda deal is that!!!

What's keeping you from buying it with the 55" guide and then getting a
second 55" rail and rail connector separately?

McFeeley's has an interesting note about the TS75. Apparently they
recommend the 118" guide rail for ripping sheet goods because two 55"
rails connected together mean that you need to plunge into the workpiece
rather than being able to start off the end.

I suspect the same would hold true for using the 55" for crosscutting a
48" panel...which is probably why they want to sell you the 75" rail.
