To get it longer increase the strip width( all of them equally) when cutting for the strip sets. If you wanted it wider you would cut the completed strip sets wider.
What pattern are you using , I could be of more help if I knew the pattern. There are a few patterns that increasing only one direction will not work ( a few of Derek Lockwoods patterns) .
