I have run across a couple of doors that had unusual backsets
during my years as a GC. One of them had door knobs in the
center of the door. Each time that I had to deal with these,
upon taking them apart I have found that they had what seemed
to be custom manufactured "extenders" for the bolt. I was
able to replace them with standard door hardware and reuse the
extension bolt. You might take yours apart and see if you can
do the same.

I've seen Backset extensions for some locksets at Locksmith shops.

There's much more available in specific trade shops/retailers than
you will find in any of the big stores.
