The same place you get the long, not-as-skinny weapon systems for a typical Spinal Battery? It's not like a spaceship designer goes to the local Blasters R Us to pick up such a thing for the vessel they're building - rather, such would be built to the specifications the design team decided on, just like the thrusters and similar. Many of the components in a spaceship are likely designed specifically for that ship design, and Spinal Batteries are certainly going to be such a component.

Ve2 is GURPS Vehicles, 2nd edition, which was a supplement for GURPS 3rd edition (GURPS is currently in 4th edition, but the PDF of that is available as part of the GURPS Classic line). It's a much more in-depth design system than Spaceships, which gives it more flexibility but also makes it much more time-consuming (and difficult) to use.
