So as per the post I have reading here, It depends on each file. Your medical expiry is one year from the date.
If the case is straight forward with all the checks done and your medical is about to expire they will call you to confirm if you can fly before the expiry and in those cases they sometimes also extend the expiry by one or 2 weeks.
If the officer thinks that it might take some more time then then they contact you and ask you for re medical. And yes that seems to delay the process for some time.
But again it all depends on case and officer and its really hard to make a trend of the process looking at how they work.
I would recommend waiting for VO to send you re-medical request so that you do not get ahead of yourself not knowing when ur file will be processed and also you do not waste money on upfront re-medicals if VO themselve extend your medical. Just wait....
