Extended E9th is simply E9th with two additional strings: low G# and low E. The only change required is raising low G# to A along with the other two G# strings.
Beyond that, the copedent can be extended in various ways similar to the 10 string E9th. The whole point of Extended E9th is that it is not a different tuning - it's simply an extension of the low range of the standard tuning.
People seem to agree that there's no need to lower the low E along with the other two, but there are different approaches to the F lever. Most people simply raise the low E to F along with the other two E's. Winnie Winston lowers it to C# instead, and I follow his example. The low root of the chord is more useful than the low 3rd, in my opinion.
Another approach is to do nothing to the low E string. This gives you the 7b9 chord on the F lever - very cool, especially if you don't have a C6th neck.
