You're very welcome, Nanatuha.

"gone" is an adjective modifying "is".
"Gone" doesn't modify "is". It's a predicate adjective modifying "lunch". Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns.

"long" is an adverb modifying "gone".

Can I connect both with "and", even they are different about part of speech?
Can I ...........even though they are different PARTS OF SPEECH?

No, you can't.
