If I'm not mistaken, #'X-extent represents the horizontal space
APPARENTLY taken up by an object, not the actual width of the object.
It's more like a padding value than a size value.

However, it's important to realise that I haven't changed the physical
(visual) width of the object itself -- I've only made Lilypond THINK
the note is wider than it actually is, and therefore Lilypond leaves
more room (padding) around it.
Make sense?

This makes perfect sense. Interestingly, when a tie is added, the tie
is unaffected. It just gets longer to accommodate the extra space. So
NoteColumn seems to affect only the space between noteheads, and not
the space between the notehead and other objects such as a tie. Perhaps
this means that TieColumn or Voice.TieColumn would affect the padding
between ties, not between ties and the notehead. But I'm guessing.

Is that of any use? You can use LaissezVibrerTieColumn #'X-extent to
lengthen them to your desired length.
For some reason, perhaps the reason above, I was not able to tap into
this with either:
\override LaissezVibrerTieColumn #'extra-Y-extent = #'(5.0 . 3.0) <
b,, b,,, >4--\laissezVibrer
or
\override Voice.LaissezVibrerTieColumn #'extra-Y-extent = #'(5.0 .
3.0) < b,, b,,, >4--\laissezVibrer
I have a note that somehow I managed a while back to increase the
vertical padding of the LV tie, but not the horizontal padding.
(Unfortunately, this isn't documented. To find this setting, I had to
look into the source code. )

I really appreciate your time and efforts. We all do. Just letting you
know that I am trying very hard to figure things out on my own.
For anyone interested, the excerpt in question was from Debussy: Ce
qu'a vu le vent d'Ouest.
