By increasing the distance between the wheel & bridge, you might gain
a little in resonance (most noticeable in lower midrange frequencies
to my ears), but then the arc of vibration of the strings increases
too, and you may have issues of chatter against the tangents.
Really? It seems to me that so long as the scale length remains the
same, the distance from wheel to bridge should not make effect the
viibrational arc, because the scale length is determined by the distance
from bridge to saddle. Otherwise, the pitch of a violin would be
different when bowing close to bridge than when bowing closer to the
fingerboard. No?
