You can get some really long bits (several feet long in fact), but I don't think it would help in your application. Don't go starting right in the middle. Start nearer to an edge so that the piece is "inspired" to break off. In the middle, all you're going to do is either drill a hole or split it in two, which doesn't do you any good. Break off pieces you can remove. Vary the angle to break things like the top step off the second step, if it's built that way. It's really not a problem break up something like you describe into managable chunks. I recommend the Moil point. That's the pointy one. It works well for breaking up concrete, as well as poking holes in it if you're too far away from an edge. If they give you the option of renting one with a used point, or spending a few bucks to buy/rent a new one, I'd go with a new point. There's quite a difference in performance, just like there is with a worn chisel vs a sharp one. If you find yourself drilling a hole, don't see how far down you can drill it. Sure as shoot'n, that's when you'll get a little rock that falls down the hole, jamming your bit in there. That's not fun. Start early so you don't feel rushed, and just play. If you make it into work, it's not as much fun. :-)
