Yearn to be extensive (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

long

This clue is a double definition.

'yearn' is the first definition.
(I know that yearn is a more specific form of long)

'be extensive' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for long that I've seen before include "Really want" , "Pant" , "Yearn (for)" , "Sustained" , "Thus having been treated by stretcher, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
