Just tell him to back feed the panel and make sure he shuts off the main
before starting the genny.
This way, he only needs one heavy cable (and it can be as short as
possible) and he has his whole house wired properly.
Note: This is against every code I know, but it is safe if you are
mindful of what you are doing.

Heavy duty extension cords are pretty pricey. I had my compressor (240
hard wired) connected to the panel in my garage and it cost under $100.
I am guessing he will pay close to that for a heavy duty cord....
50 ft 10 gauge over $85....
