Land Rover have long known the 90 is too short and the 110 too long for the "ideal" wheelbase, hence the Range Rover had a 101" wheel base as did the purpose built 101FC. By fitting a modiifed 90 body you shorten the overhangs and reduce the weight of the vehicle.
If you wanted to go further you could, people have chopped Range Rovers down to 90, 88, 86 and even 80" wheel bases (to conform with Defender, Series 3, Series 1/2 and early Series 1 wheel bases). And simply fit the appropriate body shell on top, or variation.
IMO this would be a better route than trying to convert a 109 to a 110.
