You can definitely get new air conditioning lines made up. First point of call should be an air conditioner workshop as they will be set up to make replacement lines so they should definitely be able to produce custom ones of any sort.

The hose needs to be a 'barrier' hose. The gas permeates through rubber so there is a liner aronud the inner hose tube to stock it escaping, usually nylon. Not all air conditioning hoses are compatible with every gas, but I assume 99% of them out there will be fine for automotive aircon gas, typically R134A.

If you can't find an air conditiong workshop close then try a hydraulic hose place, something like a Hardy Spicer, Hydraulink or Southcott. The Gates hose available for this is their PolarSeal hose. I don't know what other brands have but they will have them also.
