In case you missed that - Length of the rod is shortened-

1.yup, not done by dicing up a piston and welding it back together
2.yup, not done by dicing up con-rods and welding back together
3.haven't seen it done(most commonly by sleeving)
incase you missed it cast metal shouldn't be welded
besides off-set grinding cranks need smaller internal diameter bearing surfaces(which would be best accomplished by different rods); then you have to think about oiling passages,etc...
