I think you would have a hard time justifying flying on for an hour just to get somewhere with passenger or maintenance facilities. In my mind "nearest suitable" when on one engine (obviously different if you have 2-3 remaining) means the GEOGRAPICALLY nearest airfield that is long enough, is open and has suitable weather for the approach on offer.
