There is no "stretch the glide" ability by going slower than your best L/D speed. Going slower reduces how far you fly.
This assumes that all you care about is at what point along a flat surface you will hit the ground. There are often other considerations besides best distance. Like perhaps a large chunk of concrete in your way.
