Problem I've had with ever car now...
If I adjust the seat so I can press the clutch fully I never get to fully extend my right leg which gets uncomfortable after a while. However if I
move back so my right leg's fine I can't press the clutch properly.
I've thought about fixing a small block on the clutch pedal to compensate but then I think I'll be having to lift my leg too much..
Any ideas?

Get your legs adjusted so they are both the same length

Good point, they're both equally too short!

If you have room, put a "deadman's" pedal just to the left of your clutch. Basically a solid footrest.
You will be able to rest your foot on that between gearchanges.

I've got some sort of footrest there, the problem is I'm extending my left leg fully but never my right... Did I mention a small extension
to the pedal, is there something I can bolt on that's legal?

Adjust the clutch so that the pedal does not need to be fully depresed

Aha good one, now what is it I'd be adjusting, the clutch cable?

Yup but make sure that you don't go too far and make the clutch slip. If you are using ford pedals you could also try using a larger plastic
quadrant so that it diengages earlier.

If this is for you kit then try the below.
If its for a tintop ignore the comments below
If possible do what some manufacturers do and set the throttle pedal further away from the seat.
The clutch and brake are in line and the throttle is stepped back
Hope you understand what Im getting at
My Cmax was like this and it really does make a difference

I dont think you can adjust on tip top unless you bend the pedal arm which I wouldnt suggest
