Mendel switches again to indicative past tense, so he is talking about the experiments here that Gärtner actually conducted.
extended = ausgedehnten Sherwood has “extensive”, we follow Bateson. As the next sentence makes clear, Mendel defines the “extension” of a developmental series by the number of character pairs it involves. The developmental series becomes literally more “extended”.
developmental series = Entwicklungsreihe See p. 17, s. 6.
