Does anyone make any ribbon with between 2 to 20 wires that will work with the .1" spacing on the solderless breadboards? That would be really handy for hooking the BCD output of one chip to the input of another. Also it would be nice to have some kind of ribbon cable with a female connection on one side and make connection on the other that could be used to hook to a 2 x 20 pin header of some pre-built board to a breadboard. The header I am looking at already has a .1" spacing, but the 2 columns are also .1" apart so unless there is a breadboard layout that I don't know about, plunging it into one will hook each row of 2 pins together, which is very unlikely to be what I need to do.
Solderless proto board hook up wire?

Check Digikey for DIP form-factor IDC connectors. They're available pre-wired or as a bare connector, 14 to 40 pins in "DIP spacing" so they fit well on breadboards. Try this link, or just search on "IDC DIP connector"
