I was on the variable wheelbase issue.
Re the length iself, it's a compromise. Longer usually means less angular change and the benefit you identify, BUT at the cost of more weight to make them strong enough and less rigidty and packagng difficulties.
But the supposed altering wheelbase would result in handling compromises
Anything that alters the geometry of a race car is n issue. Each time it moves the driver has to adjust their line/hrottle/braking. Look at the mes KERS has caused
