Make your extension out of an asssaver. I bought a £3 Halfords equivalent, cut it to shape and zip-tied it to the mudguard (having made small holes in each. Occasionally, I have to replace the zip-tie as it gets a bit loose, but it does the job. It's just thin sheet-plastic so should flex easily enough for your needs.

No longer a Specialized fanboy
an internet friend told me how he made a front flap out of a mousepad trimmed w/ scissors & held on w/ binder clips. I've tried it myself & it's not too bad
 
front flap on the MTB works for many occasions

Hang the bike up by the rear wheel and use whatever fender you like. An old tire, part of a plastic bottle, perhaps the leather upper of an old shoe......
 
SKS commuter hybrid guards would fit the bill, enough to stop a wet and dirty back but not really long, they are shorter than longer guards to enable bikes to be parked up in positions such as yours so they don’t catch.
