I wouldn't get too hung up on the width. Ergonomically you'll find that it's best to be able to stand as close as possible to the machine - it reduces how far you have to lean over when working on the inside of bowls. So even with a wider table you'll eventually position the lathe at the front edge.

Adding extension feet seems reasonable, that's what commercial midi lathe stands have. Just be sure to build in a shelf for sandbags, sheer mass it what reduces vibrations. Your chunk of butcher block seems like a good start to that!
