Shorten a big plane ,rather than stretch a smaller one

Has anyone successfully shortened a big aircraft to make a smaller one ?
Rather than stretch the 737 ,which already a stretched 707 , why did they not cut twenty feet of the front and twenty feet off the back of a 757 ?
A shortened 757 might work better than an over stretched 707.
