Help How to expand the dashclock lock screen widget?

I was trying to figure out how to expand the lock screen widget to show more than 4 extensions. For example, I have calendar, gmail, alarm, weather, battery extensions currently active. In order to see all the info on the lock screen I must scroll down. I would like it to expand and show all extensions without scrolling down. Unless I'm mistaken this is possible from screen shots posted online. Also any general discussion on this fantastic lock screen widget would be nice. If this widget cannot be expanded then lock screen widgets in android 4.2+ seem to waste a lot of screen real estate.
 
Thank you for your response. I was referring to the dashclock widget specifically. If you add as many extensions as you can to this specific lock screen widget, you will see that only 4 extensions can be seen without scrolling down. Now apply the same dashclock widget to one of your home screens, long press then expand the widget to make it longer along the portrait view. Now you should be able to see all the extensions on one widget on your home screen. I'm trying to get that same all-in one widget for the lock screen.
 
Do you have links to those screen shots. Everything I have seen on-line, including developers site and reviews, nothing shows more than 4 extensions (although it is true that no one ever explicitly says). It is a cool looking lockscreen widget. I'm going to try it. I'll let you know if I learn anything.

Edit: I see no resizing function. Without that, I just don't see any way it could show more than 4 extensions under the clock without scrolling. I hing i is indeed using the Google limit of 5.

It is a very nice widget though. :)
 
OK, it looks like expanding lock screen widgets is something you can only do with custom ROMs. Seems like a waste of screen real estate if you ask me.
