stretch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'make longer' is the first definition.
(stretching is a kind of making longer)

'time in clink' is the second definition.
'stretch' can be an answer for 'time' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'in clink' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stretch that I've seen before include "Time lag's got" , "Continuous expanse/period" , "Make demands on; continuous expanse" , "Increase" , "Extend, time spent in prison" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
