It's extremely difficult to help you if we can't see your model or crease pattern. In general, in order to get a longer flap, you need to enlarge the circle representing that flap. Given that you're using 22.5, that may or may not involve redoing the entire crease pattern--again, I can't offer a better solution without seeing what you have.
