I believe that extension is to allow for the upper floor transit, just like arrivals at south pier is supposed to stay on upper floor until reaching central plaza.

And now I've looked in Blue wings magazine and see the confusion. What is labeled in the Finavia sketch as "extension 37-39" is the expansion to north to accommodate the transfer lanes to plaza.
In BW 37-39 are new busgates, just like new 34 and new 36, I assume. Unless floor plans have changed entirely.
Current 32-33-34 has become 35, 40 and 42 in in the BW sketch. Their locations corresponds to the construction floor plans as the jet bridge gates are planned to be further apart than currently.
