Manufacturers are require to put dates on products, but just because something is past the expiration date does not mean it is spoiled, especially dry, boxed products. You can use an outdated cake mix, but it may have lost color, flavor, and nutritional value. It is unlikely to be harmful. Check the mix for signs of mold or insects. If it looks and smells okay it is most likely safe to use.

You shouldn't just add flour to the cake mix to stretch it to a third layer, that would upset the delicate balance of flour, protein, acid, leavening agents, and the like. The result wouldn't be good, either from a texture or a taste standpoint. If you want a third layer on your cake, buy an extra box of cake mix and use half of it for the third layer, or buy a bulk cake mix bag from Costco or Smart n' Final, and make the three layers according to the recipe on the bag.
