Are there any extenders for long range mode?

Currently I am using the zwa-2 antenna. I have 9 siren&chimes (only 7 are hitting dependably.

I am working in a building that has a lot of concrete walls and I need about another 100 feet to be able to reach the last few nodes.

The nodes that do reach are right at the end of the signal and it is hit or miss if they trigger.

No, Z-Wave Long Range is a star topology only (as in, all devices connect directly to the controller). You would need to connect the devices in non-LR mode

#

You can have both Z-Wave and Z-Wave LR devices on the same network

I don't have any direct Z-Wave experience however as I understand it you could use another ZWA-2 with the new (and still experimental) firmware on it as announced HERE. Then I think you might have to manually set a route (this is where no first hand knowledge hits). But then you could have a large antenna device (and therefore better connection) closer to your far side nodes and have them relay through it.
