Does increased Debuff duration affect damage at all?

I am looking at War Machine's Skirmish charge prefight, which increases debuff duration +20%.
Does this merely stretch out the length of time the debuff is present without increasing the total damage?

For example, if a bleed debuff normally does 100 damage over 10 seconds, with increased debuff duration does it either cause:
(1) Bleed does 100 damage over 12 seconds
or
(2) Bleed does 100 damage over 10 seconds + 20 damage over 2 seconds = 120 damage over 12 seconds?

#2 is calculated where the additional time inflicts the same rate of damage (10 damage/second).

2 is correct

@AverageDesi is correct. The game deals additional ticks of the same damage resulting in increased damage output
