Well actually the Audi A8 and 7-Series are available in SWB for, the regular A8 (no L) and the 745i, now 750i. So I'm not sure why VW didn't import the SWB Phaeton. They should have and priced it right on top of the E500/545i IMO, matching the LS430 of the time.

If they re-introduced it they should price the SWB Phaeton on top of or the same as the E550, 550i and SWB Lexus LS460. That is where it would make the most sense to luxury car (not 550i manual sports sedan) buyers.
