Mate,

Any of the major players can supply belts in unusal lengths (it's unusual widths that are difficult), the suppliers i deal with are in australia, so they're not much use to you... but get onto your local bloke and ask about cutting and joining belts in the length you want.

Typically they will have abrasive belt on large rolls that they can cut and join to any length you order... trouble is you usually have to order 12 or more belts at a time to warrant the time spent cutting and joining.

You will probably have to go to a specialist industrial abrasive supplier rather than a knfe making supplier... the bloke i deal with here sells only abrasives and is great to deal with... he's forgotton more about this kind of thing than I can ever hope to remember.

If you dont have any luck... i can get them made here and send them to you... but it's american made belt... so you must be able to get it done there much much cheaper than that.
