Seems like most stems are still designed around 31.8. My new bike comes with a 35mm bar, but with a 50mm stem, which is going to be too long.
Can I get a 35mm long stem with a 35mm bar?

Just picked up Mrs. WH and nice 35mm length, 35mm clamp Race Face Atlas 35 at Kinetic Cycles on North Road in Burnaby.
He had available in a few colours. Got her the stealth blackout bar and stem.
I too am running a an Atlas with my 35mm SixC bars…very nice setup.

funny they make a 31.8mm bar with a 50mm and a 65mm length but not a 35mm version , yet with the 35mm bar they have a 35mm/50mm and a 65mm length

Are stem lengths not measured to the center of the bar? This would mean that the reach of a 50mm stem is still the same between 31.8 and 35 non?
35mm bars?
how the hell did we ever survive with 25.4mm????
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Ya i remember having some Ti Bontrager bars back in the mid 90,s that where 7/8 and had a sleeve making them 25.4mm had a Syncros 0deg 75mm stem as well

^yeah, i've got an old syncros shotgun bar that uses a stem sleeve as well. simplest bar ever - a straight 7/8" tube with no bends. hacked to about 21" of course - with steerhorns. and a flat 150mm stem. no wonder the trails seems so damn hard back then. my first (26") riser bar (with a stubby 70mm stem) was a revelation.

Nope. Center to center measurement ignores the outer diameters.

+1 for the Atlas 35mm.
Paired with an Easton Havoc Carbon at full 800mm width and I'm really happy with it. Thought I'd cut the bar down after a few rides, but with the shorter stem the wider bar works really well.
