Dmitriy,
Assuming you're using VGA/SVGA with a standard 15 pin copper cable it's 9
meters at a 1024 X 768 @60 Hz setting.. See
http://www.scala.com/hardware/dvi-vga-cable.html for more information

I'm going to connect 2 standard monitor cables using an adapter to place my
monitor further from my system block. I use 1280 X 1024 @85 Hz setting. The
cable will be about 3.5 m long. Is this ok?

I've done that. But... I've discovered it is *critical* that you get a
cable with the proper electrical characteristics. Do not use cables that
are as thin as a pencil. They cost about the same as two McDonald's Happy
Meals (in whatever currency you use). These will smear the signal and
make letters like ghosts.
Use cables that are as thick as your middle finger. They are constructed
so that the signal is preserved for long lengths. A 2 meter cable cost
about the same as a 80GB hard drive.

Can I connect two thick standard length monitor cables and preserve the
signal?

At work we use such a "thick" piece of cable to connect 2 regular VGA cables
to each other. We run at 1024*786 @70Hz, works fine. (length about 2 - 2.4
metres)

You would be better off getting a custom-made one piece
cable because every joint will cause reflected signals
inside the cable.
Google for "monitor cable length" and you'll see some ads
for cables to 100 feet.
