Could just need a grip adjustment. The ratio by itself won't cause elbow tendonitis. But trying to take a grip that you're not built for might.

Is there any way long forearms relative to humeri could make elbow tendinitis in the squat more likely or harder to eliminate? I have long forearms and short humeri, and I have some minor elbow tendinitis in my right elbow when I squat, so I’m just curious if that could be a factor.

Yes, I have long forearms. I can't power clean, and my press starts around my mouth.
As Pete suggested, go through the grip adjustments to see if it helps. For me, it just moved the pain to different places along my arm (shoulder, wrist, elbow, middle of humerus). A squat bar (it's longer than a power bar) could give you enough space. I use a bent bar (TDS), and I squat without pain.
