It can help if the underlying model remains valid. However, extending the period beyond a systematic change is of little use. For example, if studying the relation between age and height of adolescents, extending the data to cover a longer period - into adulthood - would devalue the usefulness of the data. This is because the approximately linear relationship breaks down when the subject reaches adulthood.
