If you have a 1 bar pattern you want extended to 4, you must set 
the pattern length to 1 bar *before* executing the extend 
command.  What happened to you was you extended a 4 bar 
pattern out to 4 bars . . . i.e. nothing changed.

Now lets say you do this for track 1 (Kick).  Your pattern is now 4 
bars of Kick.  If you program 1 bar of Snare on track 2 and want to 
extend it to 4 bars, you have to reset the pattern length to 1 bar, 
then execute the extend command on Track 2.  This will now give 
you a 2-track, 4-bar pattern of Kick and Snare.

The reason you have to reset the pattern length back to 1 is 
because if you don't, the xx-7 thinks your pattern is already 4 bars 
(1 full, 3 empty), so there's nothing to extend.

At least, all of this is what I've found works for me.  Anyone else 
have a better way?
