So you just want a left shift keycap, 2.25u long with the stem at the location of a 1.25u key?
No need to mod. What Cherry calls 'US international' has an ANSI left shift but an ISO enter.
An example would be the G80-8200LPDUS:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/px87D.jpg)

why are there 3 censored keys :P

Because I tend to have my emails, phone numbers and stuff on them. Not that it really matters but I felt like removing them. The pic is quite old, some might have changed since then though.
The one reason why I didn't like it happens to be the very reason why OP might like it. It sort of has the required layout from the start, although perhaps a bit big. GH60 would be the smaller alternative to get this natively since I believe it also supports this combo.
I don't think OP will have find it easy to get a large shift work with only the stem from the small shift, and using two stems will be troublesome as it will activate one or both and the <>| key will have to be disconnected etc.
The GH60 does sound interesting project, but I'd have to wait and see what the end product is like.
If you want a TKL, go for the Phantom PCB then, it would support the layout you want, however you would need a custom plate for it.
Maybe ask the_beast if he can hook you up with one.
"u refers to a Unit by Cherry, which is 19.05mm. 2.25u is the same as 2.25*19.05mm"
That sounds troublesome. A ~5mm cap is quite huge. Right shift on the other hand is 0.25u too long. Why no 2.5u caps?!

No, a 5mm cap would be tiny and doesn't really exist. You are using the unit wrong. There are no cherry caps smaller than 1u, aka 19.05mm (if you measure the actual caps you will get a slightly lower measurement because of the gap).
The normal caps in the alpha (letter) cluster are 1u, and thus about 19.05mm wide. A cap which is 2u wide is thus approximately 38.1mm wide (give or take a mm for gaps).
