“What's the second cable's purpose? The one that's split into a "Y" shape. Is it just an extension cable, serving the same purpose as the one with the volume control, but giving extra cable length?”

Extra length but more importantly a plug for the mic and the headphones. Plug these into a sound card or just into the jacks in your device. From there you can separate the mic volume (or set to listen to) and headset volume in various ways.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s for pc. Some outputs are mic and audio in one. Other people have computers where one output is only audio and one output is only for microphone. That cable is used for the computers that have separate audio and mic holes.
