It's not that practical of course, but then you can park in the shade and have panels in the sun. You can use the glass panels, they do not have to be "portable" only need to be able to be ported/moved.
Voltage drop will happen, but power will still get to the batteries. It is just a matter of how much voltage drop you can be happy with.
I had a friend do a portable and used regular household orange extension cords as his cord. he did not need a lot of power, so this worked, but it was dumb.

He is smart, but sometimes he is very dumb. Anyway, you can run a length of cord from a panel if you like your panels sitting out on the ground.
I would never do this unless I just wanted a spare booster panel if I had to park in the shade.
