Surely if the cylinders are different radii then it is hardly going to be
"nice" join anyway except for perpendicular views and orthographic camera.

In any case, how about taking the intersection of the two cylinders extended
past each other, that gives you the end piece. Then add cylinders up to the
start of the intersection ... the original end points less the opposite
cylinder radii.
