Possible to extend visa application denied under INA 221(g)?

My wife attended a consular interview for her spouse immigration visa earlier this year. Unfortunately, her visa application was denied with a blue slip (additional information required). According to the local consulate, if we fail to provide additional evidence as requested within one year following visa denial under 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, then our petition will be permanently terminated under INA 203(g).

 

However, according to https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM050413.html

9 FAM 504.13-2(C)  Extension of One-Year Period of Registration

b. 221(g) refusals:  The one-year period is extended each time an applicant presents evidence reasonably purporting to overcome the INA 221(g) ineligibility.

 

Does this mean that if the consulate is still unsatisfied with the new evidence we provide during the initial one-year period, our application would be extended for another year? If so, will it be automatically extended or will we have to file for extension?

 

If anyone has had any experience with extending their visa application, I'd really appreciate if you could share your experience.

Yes, it means what you think it means.  Submit reasonable evidence to overcome, and you'll get another year.  Why haven't you submitted exactly what they asked for already?  That's the real question here.  If you can't do it in a year, what makes you think more time will help?
