Finavia's page about the expansion program shows that the building would be expanded for gates 37 - 39 (to our surprise). Remains to be seen how correct that is, unless someone over here has access to the information.
Dual-usage gates will require separate access to/from the Schengen area, so that alone would require one more floor. Guiding arriving Non-Schengen passengers to Aukio will also require it.
The South Wing and the 50A-M bus gates already showed that Finavia doesn't want to offer seating at gates anymore, so I'd still expect most of the seating to be enhanced away when gates 32-34 will be renovated to 34-39.

Gate 33 in the map mesmerized me as well. There would be room for one new gate between the current Schengen and Non-Schengen gates, maybe one will be built?
Renaming gate 31 seems logical to avoid confusion with 31A-D. The same thing was done already with gate numbers 50 and 51.
