Extend the length of a sentence? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stretch

This clue is a triple definition!

'extend' is the first definition.
(I know that stretch is a kind of extend)

'the length' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' is a link.

'a sentence?' is the third definition.
(a stretch in prison)

(Other definitions for stretch that I've seen before include "Period inside" , "Strain" , "Bit of exercise" , "Period of time in prison" , "that one may do to a point" .)
