Robots may extend one appendage up to 14 in. beyond a single edge of their frame perimeter at any time.
Violation: Foul for exceeding size allotments; Technical-Foul for continuous or repeated violations

Extending an appendage beyond 14 in, even in passing, is illegal. There is no allotment for extra size while deploying.
You may be thinking of the blue-box update for the requirement that an appendage be contiguous. The update allowed brief periods of incontiguity as the appendage extended or retracted:

All portions of an appendage that are outside the Frame Perimeter must be contiguous with each other. Very brief violations of the contiguity requirement as a single appendage is being extended or retracted will not be penalized.

This does not exempt you from the 14" rule. You may at no time extend more than 14" beyond your Frame Perimeter.
