To extend a bike axle to accommodate wider tires or a different hub size, you can use axle spacers or adapters. These components can be added to the existing axle to increase its length and allow for the installation of larger tires or a different hub size. Make sure to choose the appropriate spacers or adapters that match the specifications of your bike's axle and the new components you want to install.

Are there different sizes of 700c in thickness?
By thickness I assume you mean different tire width. The answer is yes, becoming more popular are the wider 25mm, and 28mm. tires. It has been established that the wider tires have less rolling resistance. Also the wider the tire the less air pressure required to support the rider, resulting in a more comfortable ride. For example, with the 25 or 28 tires, a rider 170lb. or less could get by with 90lb. pressure in the front tire, and 100 lb. in the rear. He would need 110 to 120lb, in a 22mm. tire.
