It shouldn't be too difficult to make your own sensor bar. You just need to make sure you use the correct LEDs. Here are a few sites that show how to make your own.

I would prefer a wired sensor bar, as opposed to a battery powered one, just because it ensures the LED stays nice and bright.

The sensor on the wiimote has around a 45 degree fov for detecting the IR dots. Adding multiple sensor bars won't really help, because there is no easy way to identify which bar you are point towards. If you need full 360 degree pointing then I would recommend using an InertiaCube, if you have one available.
