OK, nobody else has dived in, so here's my observations FWIW.
Adding an additional bay would increase the wingspan from 25' (no tips) to 27.5'. If you add tips as well, that would take your span to 29'. It would increase wing area by approx 12.5 sq.ft.
So comparing a square-tipped unmodified Max to a stretched wing with standard tips, the aspect ratio would change from 5.55 to 6.73, while the wing loading would decrease from about 5lb/sq.ft to roughly 4.7 lb/sq.ft (depending on your finished build & pilot weight, of course!).
Aspect ratio is a good indicator of glide performance. You can even very roughly equate an aircraft's L/D ratio to its aspect ratio to its glide angle, all other things being equal (which they never are). But crudely, you could expect to stretch your glide by up to 20%.
Your wing loading will keep the speed down, but the the increased area plus the improved aspect ratio will also improve your climb performance markedly.
So, on the positive side, you will have better glide & climb performance. You will burn less fuel as the wing is more efficient.
Now to the negatives. Structurally, you would need to recalculate the spar loads, which may also have a knock-on effect on strut dimensions & mounting points. You would almost certainly have to beef up the inner drag members in the wing. The ailerons might start to get a bit torsionally suspect (flutter?), & may not feel as nice. All this would increase the weight of your bird.
As to handling, the roll rate will be reduced, and you will be more susceptible to turbulence (lighter wing loading & longer span). Hangarage might be a bit more of a problem, as may ground handling, rigging, & transporting.
It would be interesting to hear how a stretched wing Max performed, but to do it properly could be more work than you'd expect, & you may end up with a rather lumbering beast as opposed to the very nimble bird that the Max is as drawn.
If you want to improve your climb & glide angle without changing the basics, you might do better to concentrate on reducing the 'D' part of the L/D figure with drag reduction mods on the standard Max. Here's a few things I've done on my Eros to this end:
