I reckon you could reach almost to the bottom of the doors with another longer angle adaptor screwed onto a normal angle adaptor.
Like this: http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/shop/index.php?option=com_aceshop&route=product/product&filter_name=angle%20adaptor%20extension&product_id=1542&Itemid=73

So the brush would be screwed into the long angle adaptor and angled downwards with brush facing towards the glass.  ;)

The long angle adapter could reach near to the bottom, but with a gap of only 3"s you need a very narrow brush with side facing bristles & jets on both sides

Yes a 3" gap is ridiculous.
The angle adaptor trick could work for the job the OP posted which is what I was responding to.
Although it's still not a perfect solution because you wouldn't be able to apply much pressure at all to scrub the glass as the angle adapter combination makes it very bendy.
Most buildings which incorporate those silly juliet balconies do have french doors installed which open inwards to be able to clean and maintain them from the inside.
The sliding patio doors in your pic Steve are plainly bloody stoopid.  ;D
