Is it ok to ask for an extension on an exploding offer?

Hey everyone, I have received an offer from a decent bank but I also have a few more superdays at banks I would prefer after my exploding offer expires. Would it be ok to ask for an extension on the exploding offer? How long can I theoretically ask for?

Why are such offers termed 'exploding' rather than 'expiring'? I always thought it was just a typo, but now I realize it isn't I am curious.
