You can use various cords as long as you reduce the loads so that the voltage remains in the 120V +-10%.
At my sons house I use 55' of 50A plus 50' of 30A for a 30A plug. But can only run one AC.
Other places I use the 50A 30' rig cord plus 60' of heavy house hold extension. No ACs on this connection. Plus I crank down the converter charge rate to 30% as otherwise it can draw 11A AC for bulk charging.
The mfg statement is there to protect people from themselves by overloading the cords and that is a reasonable thing to do.
