Umm, just solder a wire to the lead. Those things are only meant to be attachment points...

Im not an electronics guru but all the LEDs Ive seen have leads no longer than an inch and change. As Jagec said you can always add wire to the leads as required.

Cut the leads about 1/4" from the package and solder fine stranded wire. Teflon coated pure silver wire is the most desirable. Use heat shrink (olefin) to cover the leads and twist the wires together for the best results.
