I've seen dashes used for this ("Ye-s"), but I wouldn't really recommend it. For readability, using repeated vowels sounds like the better, safer option. There's no need for the reader to guess what the repeated vowel means (was the word interrupted, or was the vowel elongated?) and you have the option of stretching out the word to be as long as you need (waay vs. waaaaaaay).
