Should the left arm be stretched to the ball with extensor action at address setup as well????

Quick answer - not unless you are starting from impact fix. When in fix, you stretch out to the ball to establish the correct radius (or distance from the ball) for impact as described in 2-J-1...this is what Homer is referring to. After that most people move back to a standard address, with no extensor action being applied.
In 6-B-1-D Homer describes applying extensor action during startup -in 2-J-1 he is describing establishing the radius for impact alignments, not necessarily address.

Extensor Action (6-B-1-D) is in operation from Impact Fix (8-2) to the end of the Follow-Through (8-11). However, in Adjusted Address (with its Bent Left Wrist), Extensor Action is applied only to the Left Thumb (via Pressure Point #1) to stretch the Left Arm (only). In Fix and Start Up (and beyond), it is ideally applied to both the Left Arm
and the Clubshaft (via Pressure Point #3), stretching them into as straight a line as the #2 and #3 Power Accumulators permit.
