Well that A340 at Melbourne a few months back was very sure that they were going to make it off on the runway available safely, but simply didn't.
It was a rare mistake, that's for sure, but if there's no time pressure I can't see why you wouldn't use that bit of extra runway.
That being said, if all the calcuations are right it's a perfectly acceptable option to use less than the full length.
