Beyond the extension that Lou (and missjane) mentioned, which was mostly aimed at beginners who wanted more practice with lifting, I don't think you really need to. The point is to constantly switch exercises or reps and weight so that your body never adapts and gets comfortable at any one level.
Once you finish all the Stages, which will take 6 months, you can start the whole thing over again with heavier weights. By that point, Stage 1 will be "new" again. Or you can start a new program, such as the original
New Rules of Lifting, which appears to use a lot of the same/similar lifts but different sets/reps.
