Leasehold extionsion granted by freeholder (same person)

I am the freeholder of an old Victorian property converted into 2 leaseholds.  I also own Leasehold A.

Leasehold B changed ownership approx 6 years ago and the new owner (B) purchased from me (the freeholder) a 99 year lease extension.

As leaseholder A (and freeholder of A and B) with 59 years left to run on the leasehold, I wonder if it would be prudent to extend my leasehold (A), with just legal costs to pay ? I assume I, as freeholder, can grant an extension to my leasehold A ?

I have no mortgage on my leasehold A and do not intend to sell anytime soon….
