I believe , but not sure, that is even a standard EASA wording.
So in the event you tell us to stop but we can't (and no, you won't know if we can or can't when you issue your request) what you want us to do is to get a reclearance to not stop or declare an emergency? Meantime the end of the Tarmac is approaching rather quickly...
Now, I
will stop if I can but if, in my judgement, I can't all you will get silence.
