First of all, welcome to the forum, odiez. 10', that seems kind of short to begin with, couldn't be more than about a 7' cut length, or is that a 10' cut length?
I have that same mill and was going to do the same thing....build it to the 10' length and add the 6' extension later but found that i would have to rebuild too much of it. The mill extension goes on the end and the trailer extension goes in the middle. Support jacks locate differently for the 10' and 16'. I think the axle location may be different also. I know the balance point for towing is different also. Better to just build it once and be done.
Take a look at the EZ Boardwalk Jr.I'd actually ordered mine without tracks, planning to just build them myself, there was a mistake and they accidently sent them anyhow. They had done a special order and cut the tracks down short and provided the extension. Using my 4-wheeler I can turn it around inside my shop.I later built another extension for it and because it's all made from common easy to find material, the extensions are a simple add on.One suggestion with whatever you get is to drop it off the trailer package and get it plumb on some skids....especially if you are adding an extension.Hope this helps some.
There's no reason why you couldn't maybe hinge the extension and add the support jacks (stands) to level it all up when set up.
