Reroute pipework buried into other side of a wall...

I have 22mm hot/cold pipes buried into the opposite side of the bathroom wall, which I now need to relocate, they penetrate through and connect into an old Ideal Trevi unit on the bathroom side of the wall. 

 

I want to extend the pipes by approx. 4m as part of relocating the bathroom, the side of the wall that they're buried into is a bedroom which I really don't want to disturb, and I can't access them from below either. 

 

The only option I can think of is to stick a couple of elbows into where they penetrate through the wall and chase them down the other side of it too, which feels... wrong.

 

Does anyone have any better solutions?

Or do something like this;

Blue being the existing pipe, green being the proposed new pipework;

 

Elbow from the existing pipework, chased down the other side of the wall, teed into a length running to where I need it and back through a new hole into the bedroom (from whence it came), this end would be capped off, for now.

 

Once I have access to both sides of the wall below, which I will, eventually. Below the bedroom, I can remove the stop end and use a straight connector to connect the source into the new green pipe, instead of up and through the wall. Then below the bathroom, I can remove the tee for another straight connector, rendering the pipework chased through the wall dead.

 

Is that OTT? Is there a better method?
