If a 22mm fits there ara some 6" and 8" long ones at Amazon for 10-12$
22 mm is only 0.009 inches smaller than 7/8. 22 mm = 0.866 inches, 7/8 inch = 0.875 inches.
Maybe if the 22 mm does not fit, take about 0.005 inch off of each side of the nut with a milling macheine, or even something else like a belt sander, or file.

Here's a 22mm single:

Sunex makes extra deep impact sockets, it's an SAE set. You may want to see if you can buy individuals:

Even just touching the corners and flats with a fine file will possibly get you smaller.Its crazy that sometimes one flat or corner on a fastener needs a little massaging
If you have a micrometer, or a dial-caliber, measure the distance between flats.
If not, if you have a 22 mm 6 point closed or a 22 mm open end wrench, try it on that nut and your know if you'll have to slightly modify the nut to use the 22 mm socket.

Add some coating after modifying it.
Its probably best to add it after its installed if that can be done so the 22 mm socket does not scrape it off.

Seems like might only be 5" OAL? Specs claim 12.7" cm and Rufus says 4.4" which might be interior depth of a 5" OAL?
OP if you want cheap and don't need full broach, lop off the sq drive end, section in some pipe and weld it back up. You could also cut the sq drive off one socket and slap another on top of it, but you'd need to align the interior hex over a coupling nut before welding.

You're welcome! I agree it will work, dimension C bolt clearance is 4.33".
Just be advised that if you buy Grey Pneumatic from an unauthorized reseller, like Amazon, you'll get no warranty. It's clearly spelled out in their warranty terms.

I will never need a warranty on an impact socket for what I am using it for....hand torquing one bolt to 110 ft/lbs once or twice a year.
