The only benefits I can think of are:
1. Makes it easier for the tugs to go up and down A
2. Reduces the impact of works on that part of A
Neither of which seem significant enough to me to really justify it.
Twy A near Twy E will be closing temporarily as part of the Twy E re-alignment & Twy Z project, so Twy V is being extended to ensure aircraft can taxi north of Rwy 27 to depart Rwy 16 without having to backtrack Rwy 16 whilst Twy A is closed.
