Probably it's better to rename.

I think it's better to test for \\.\ explicitly in path_is_extended:
1. It's not obvious that \\.\ aren't allowed to be long.
2. Probably FFmpeg is not going to have a longPathAware manifest,
   but it can be linked with an EXE with such a manifest.
   Would MAX_PATH restriction still apply?

You have the checks inside of get_extended_win32_path and none
inside of add_extended_prefix. Yet add_extended_prefix can be called
by anyone: it's not private. Thus add_extended_prefix either should be inlined,
or it should have the necessary checks in place. Otherwise you end up with
an API that's easy to use incorrectly and hard to use correctly, and it should 
be
the other way around.
