I'm wondering how exactly you tell when you have enough extension in the back leg.

Lower your body until your forward leg is at least parallel to the floor, then you will have enough extension in the back leg.

It's hard for me to judge since I'm so wobbly doing these.

Assist your balance with breath control. Before you move, inhale deeply and lock your rib cage onto your pelvis with a tight contraction of your whole core. Maintain that pressure throughout the movement. Exhale after the point of greatest exertion on the way back up.
Any time your spine bends you'll change your center of gravity and lose your balance. You have to stay tight, chest up, eyes forward. Having a wall or other structure close by to touch if you need to is always helpful.
