Well, I can tell ya that the stretch at the top of the lift is totally preferred.
Maybe something like one handed pulldowns with some good range and stretch.

how about low pully rows

Ok, let’s look at this in a mechanical way.
Lets say you do dead lifts, the torque comes from the legs and the lower back, the stabilizing comes from the holding of the bar and grip, traps and probably some rhomboids.
The farther you rotate parallel to the ground the more mid back you work.
When doing pull downs or pull-ups you will stretch the very bottom of the lat’s.
I suggested one arm because this would allow for the most amount of stretch so in theory it would hit the lowest part.
Most amount of range would equal most amount of muscle tension for the longest range.
This would hit the whole muscle in a fuller sense.
This is one reason why I hate cheater lifts, ego lifts, half reps, this all cheats the user.
Sure they have their place but only after the strict lift is accomplished.

Sorry, I don’t think I explained it well.

But a low cable row with a good stretch would be a good thing.

Because of the amount of pressing movements I think it is a good idea to do two exercises for the thickening of the back.
This will help with muscle imballance.

BO Rows pulled up to waist hits em I find, especially with reverse grip.
