relations modifying surface dimensions

Is it possible to use relations in such a manner as to be able to, for example, stretch something like the model shown below in one direction (length)? In this case, what I mean by "stretch", entails distributing out the splines that make up the curve on the top surface so that the curve is longer but the same height and distances between splines in same proportion. Is my question clear?


The model I would like to "stretch" lengthwise while retaining shape otherwise:

showing circle sketch that was extruded as surface to create the basic "tube", thereby creating one of two surfaces that got merged:

Showing the tube after having a section removed (rectangle protrusion removing material horizontal across top half of tube). And then the vertical curve that got blended with the resulting edges on interior of tube, thereby creating the second surface that comprises the total part.
