Wire for 50A 220V Service - 110' run
I have on hand about 30' of #2 aluminum wire and about 100' of #6 aluminum wire. The run from the breaker to the outlet will be about 120'. Can I run about 30' or so of #2, then continue with #6 to ...

OK, here's what I did:
Enclosed the exposed cable in conduit. Using a 60amp breaker off the pole, used all four wires in the cable (previously, one wire was not used). Installed another breaker box in the barn, two hots, one neutral and one ground. Using two 30amp breakers to feed the 4-pin RV outlet. Separate 10amp circuit for the lights in the barn.
I'll have my son-in-law check everything to make sure I don't curl my hair.
