I am typing out short exact sequences and want to use \rightarrowtail and \twoheadrightarrow, but they have symbols above them so they need to be a lot longer, like \longrightarrow. Yet there does not seem to be quick and easy way to do this. How can I make these kinds of arrows longer? Here is what I currently have, with the output below.

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}

\begin{document} $$K\overset{\alpha}{\rightarrowtail}M\overset{\beta}{\twoheadrightarrow}N$$ \end{document}

Since you added the tag commutative diagram, I think you could use tikz-cd package.

Off-topic, see Why is \[ ... \] preferable to $$ ... $$?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\begin{document} [ \begin{tikzcd} K\ar[r, rightarrowtail, "\alpha"] & M\ar[r, twoheadrightarrow, "\beta"] & N \end{tikzcd} ] \end{document}
