Do You want to lengthen beamed stems?
Just before about two or three hours I needed this, and after a while
reading the documentation (It's always a little bit hard for me, because
I'm not an English native speaker)-: I found a solution for my problem
with:

    \override Voice.Stem #'beamed-extreme-minimum-free-lengths = #'(1.5 1.5 1.5)

where the first number is for eights, the second for
sixteenths and the third number for 32ths (if I understood all correct).
For more than three beams You have to add more numbers.

Perhaps this is helpful to You?

Best Regards           Roland
