I've seen where some people have added fuel cells for a little more distance between stops but has anyone just tied down a 2.5gal self-venting gas can?

 
A lot more distance from a cell actually....and use it while moving. That's the appeal of a cell.

And even in the remotest parts of.....say Nevada....you still can easily go between the farthest distances with the stock tank at less-than-ludicrous velocities. So, no.....tying a plastic container that can spill fuel out a vent isn't something I'd want to do.

If spare gas is critical I'd use an MSR bottle or two.

Fairly extensive discussion on smaller extra fuel systems this summer in a thread I started. You might want to read:
