Although the idea of making the runway longer may make sense to you on a quick think you also have to take into account that there is a lot of different calculations that go into landing and taking off with a huge jumbo jet. If you are suggesting that you might be ably to take of two at a time on the same runway one behind the other then a quick lesson about aerodynamic should in sue following this reading. The vortex that is created when 250,000 lbs of mass passes through the air at 180+ mph (the average speed it takes to elevate a modern passenger jet is equivalent to that of a sideways tornado. Not the mention the amount of variation in weather over a mile is incredible.

Are All Runways The Same Length?
The runway's length depends on the type of aircraft that uses it. Commercial airliners typically need longer runways than small bush planes, since they weigh more and need a higher speed to take off. The longest runway in the world is at Edwards Air Force Base and is a marked section of a dry lakebed almost 40,000 feet long. The longest paved runway is at Qamdo Bamda airport in Tibet and is 18,045 feet long (this is also currently the highest airport in the world ... at high elevations, longer runways are needed for the same size plane).So, in short: No. Not even all runways at the same airport are necessarily the same length. MCI (Kansas City International), for example, has two runways that are 9,500 feet long and one runway (1L/19R) that's 10,801 feet long. BOS (Logan International in Boston) has 6 runways ranging from just 2,557 feet to 10,803 feet.
