SMD jumper / 0R resistor with long thin package?
You can find smt jumper pins which can be up to 12mm long and are made for this purpose. Most major suppliers have them. You can also get up to 2512, 0Ω resistors but pay attention to the current rating.

Some examples from DigiKey include smt jumpers from Keystone, Harwin and others. They are a bit expensive but they can handle more current than a 0Ω resistor.
An alternative would be 0Ω resistors if your current handling requirements aren't very high. These can be down to a cent.

Just use you supplier of choice, play around with the search parameters and something will eventually pop up.

Edit:
Some datasheets provide a power rating for the 0Ω resistors. You can also have a look at this discussion on the power rating for 0Ω resistors. If in doubt, it's probably best to contact the manufacturer and ask them to clarify.
