That would work, but it will involve more wasted air than you could get by swapping your current hose out with a purpose built longer micro bore hose.  If your pump is a hand pump it might be worth checking into.  Joe Brancato is a great source for that - you can call them and describe what you want and he can set you up with a great solution.

Years ago I used a Hill handpump that had a short stubby hose that was not a micro bore.  It took something like 15 pumps strokes to charge the line to the roughly 2400 psi start point of filling my Marauder as then tuned (all from long ago memory, so approximate).  When I swapped to a micro bore hose from Joe that was about 4 times as long, it only took about 7 or 8 strokes to get to the same point.  That adds up over lots of shooting.  Whatever it takes for you now, it will take a lot more with the added extension solution.

OF course if your Benji pump is an electric compressor, you might not care . . .  ;)
