This had better be because he is including more and more of the original story than he had planned to, not because (a) he is adding more and more Peter Jackson-originated story or (b) he wants to spin out the money-making opportunities even further.
I confess that, when I went back and watched the first part of FOTR recently, I was less pleased with it than when I saw it originally. So much was left out, so much was played for comic relief, so much was altered from the original... it was like a meal you remember with some pleasure that, when you go to cook it again, just doesn't taste nearly as good as the one you recall.
