The only places I've seen such long pieces of 2x4 were in old balloon-
framed houses. One reason balloon-framing ended was the availability
and cost of such wood.

The glue-lam framing industry uses them quite a bit, with a production
line making all sorts of very long "timbers" from 2x4s and 2x6s held
together by glue that is RF heat-sealed (13.6 MHz ISM stuff) and a
flying-arm saw cutting them to length in a continuous process. I got
to visit such a plant once, and marveled that everything worked as
well as it did.
