Farnell does them in 150mm and 300mm lengths.
Alternatively, you could make your own cable using a 16-way IDC connector and some 1.27mm pitch ribbon cable.

At the moment we do not have any of the right angle headers in stock for the IO Pi but next time we place an order with our connector supplier we will order some headers and either provide the option of having them pre-soldered or supply them separately so users can fit them themselves.

If you plan on stacking more than one IO Pi Plus on a Raspberry Pi then the right-angle connector would be a better option as the clearance between the boards isn't big enough to fit the straight socket and a plug.
The IO Pi Plus was designed to worth with the MOLEX 90130-3220 right angle connector or the 70246-2004 style straight connector...
Thank you Andrew, that was very helpful!
One more question. On the power connector I can see that it has holes for the 5mm screw terminal PLUS two more holes. Is there a specific socket that was designed for? There isn't a dimension on the two extra holes.
