I also agree with adding another piece to your mill to give more support at the end of the cut. You can see in the picture of my Granberg mill that I added a second piece so each side of the flat surface is supported at the end of the cut. I later made two from wood and added each to both my Granberg mills. You can probably make one that can be moved to different locations for different sized logs.
As far as milling long logs, I suggest using nails and laying a board on them. I've been doing it that way for over 15 years and it has worked every time. Notch four of the nail heads with a chainsaw file and hammer two on each end of the log with the notches facing the ends and level the nails on each end. Then pull a string making two parallel lines and stagger nails down the log next to the strings at the same height. Then lay a board on them for the guide and slide the board down as needed. I use 40d bright common nails (5" nails). 6" spikes also work well but they cost more and are a little harder to pull out with a crow bar because of the length. Pre drill for hard woods. I use a quarter sawn pine board about 3/4" x 10" x 8'. A thin board will flatten to the nails by the weight of the saw and mill. You might want a little thicker slab board if you have a heavier milling setup.
It's a good method for making floor joists, rafters and long beams.
