Does Long-arm Bracers stack with the Enlarge person Spell?
I am looking to get the "best Reach " possible for my Brawler.
Under the Enlarge person spell it states "Multiple magical effects that increase size do not stack." But I do not see anywhere that the Long-arm Bracers increase a person's size.

A medium person has a 5' reach.
A medium person with longarm bracers has a 5'-10' reach.
A large person has a 10' reach.
A large person with longarm bracers has a 10'-15' reach.
It doesn't matter how you get large, that's what you end up with. Long-arm bracers isn't a size-changing effect and works just fine with Enlarge Person.
If you're a large humanoid with a reach weapon, you've got a 15'-20' reach. If you add in your longarm bracers, you'd have a 20'-25' reach. There are better ways to get reach without losing 4 to your attack roll, though.
Well, since this is a brawler, there is the assumption that this would be for an unarmed build, which suffers no penalties due to long arm bracers. In that case, the arms are basically reach weapons themselves (since the effect lasts until your next turn).
Oh, don't forget lunge. Nice and normal way to get extra reach during your turn. I'd still get the bracers- since the extra reach is awesome, and you can fake a reach build for a bit. But lunge is probably your bread and butter, since you can do it all the time.

Okay, so what happens if I have a medium sized (improved) whip master wielding a large whip two handed, who then gets long-armed, and then enlarged?
How far can they attack with their whip, and how far do they threaten?
I don't think that the rules for different-sized whips have ever been clarified.
