How sure were you of the experience of the pilot who was in your way? I'd also say it's better if you're not completely sure to land with space to spare, rather than go off the end.
Certainly, if in doubt, land with lots of runway ahead to spare, I have no problem with that. What caught my attention, was that knowing I was behind him in the circuit, he landed very well, and short, and then lingered on the runway at a walking pace for it's full remaining length (1500' plus). A faster taxi was safely possible, or, he's entitled to call me on the radio, saying he'll be delayed on the runway. If I have time to complete my downwind, extend it a little, fly base, and orbit three times on my turn to final, he took unusually long to taxi 1500 feet!
This is totally a courtesy discussion. I can certainly overshoot and refly the circuit, and probably should have in this case, but its a matter of my having information to know that I should expect to!
