Sorry, but no way. It's not hard to make it, but it's extremly
difficult in comparison to the parallel cables. The cable is just 2
diodes, the expander is way more, and a more complicated assembly
technique. I MIGHT find time to make one for you if you find a chip,
but you should wait for the Expander II (Mel's next project).
