Something like this might be just the ticket:

Yes, it was Ed Pratt. I'll be doing my 11th 100 mile unicycle century sometime in February, and I do these all-day rides on a 36er unicycle with 110mm cranks. Not sure but I think Ed probably opted for 127s to give a bit more leverage on hills. Really the only time I use cranks with multiple holes is for road climbing with my 700c uni. 150s up, 110s down. For shorter climbs like Fargo, or the top 10 hills in SF, I just use 150s up & back down, without changing holes.
