Yeah, and that's why I normally choose to say both. Have to say the part from the book, and I choose to say the additional verbiage when I know it will improve comprehension.
Though if the extension is going to be brief, I have used only "extend downwind" without trouble. However if clarification were ever needed, it's no trouble to specify a bit.
