forI have also thought of the possibility that the tubes are too short for the cruise missiles and are lengthened by extension tubes, only to be used in fair weather.

I doubt it would be possible to lengthen and shorten VLS tubes at short notice (i.e. without help of shipyard) . Anyway, in video released by Russian ministry of defense below, especially at 0:39 and 1:38 they look normal to me . Simply, we have entered new age of naval combat where even small inexpensive warships of lake flotilla (Caspian Sea is actually large lake ) became strategic weapons .

Russian Missiles Aimed At Syria Reportedly Hit Iran
Russian missiles aimed at Syria reportedly landed in Iran on Thursday.
The mistaken bombing, launched from a Russian warship in the Caspian Sea, was first, which received the information from two unnamed U.S. officials.
The report is consistent with Iranian media accounts of an explosion in northwestern Iran. The Islamic Republic Press Agency, an official Iranian government press outlet, that the governor of Takab said an "unidentified flying object" near the town crashed and then exploded. The article contained a photo of a drone, however, and did not provide details about the origins of the crash and explosion.
Iranian journalists have these government reports.
A Pentagon spokesperson declined to comment on the incident.
The Iranian and Russian governments did not immediately respond to request for comment.

I would only take this news seriously if it were started by news outlets from other countries.
