It would appear safest to lengthen the wire in the ringer/receiver to

To keep your visitors from ringing your neighbors' bells?
How would increasing the size of a receive antenna increase
propagation from the remote?
No one said it would. You should read more slowly.
If you had said "To keep your neighbors' buttons from ringing your
bells," that might have been valid.
No, I was responding to the bit about "why the manufacturer
just didn't make it longer in the first place" -- the manufacturer
intended that the receive range -- on all units -- be short enough to
avoid this problem. If he made it longer, everyone might ring bells
for a couple of houses on either side, as well as their own.
