Not really. X-extent doesn't actually pad elements but overrides the value LilyPond *thinks* the item has. To make that clearer consider setting the X-extent (and A-extent) of an object both to zero. This makes LilyPond's spacing and collision handling completely ignore the element. Which is for example useful to "stamp" something on top of the score.
