Hi Mike,
Lippert only offers the extrusion rails in 8' lengths with part # LC715216 and # LC715217. Since you're needing 20' you'll have to purchase three and can then either have some extra overhang or cut it down to about 20-1/2' to 21' in length. I HIGHLY recommend using some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the back of the rails and then some non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 on the top edge to help prevent any water from leaking into the wall. I would also use a bit of sealant over the butted up ends of the rails to keep a smooth transition and prevent water from getting in that way.
