Here is my version of the F-35 with a bigger wing. Enjoy!
The span was designed around the ATF criteria (NATO shelters). The Wing sweep was made so it meets the nose angle cone at the maximum possible wingspan. The trailing edge was angled according to platform alignment LO requirements. And finally the Flap and Ailerons sizes were decreased to provised for better control in the absence of the horizontal tail. Note the wing flap is technically a modified horizontal tail and it uses the same driving mechanism,
Notable is also the absence of the vertical tails for reduced drag and RCS. Yaw, and additional pitch control is provised by Asymmetric fluidic trust vectoring. A new concept is in testing at NASA. Here the link:

This F-35 version could be produced after 2015 and take advantage of the benefits from the VAATE program or an F136 engine. All these modifications could enable the F-35 to have a limited supercruise in the order of Mac 1.4, which is the initial ATF requirement.
The allready produced F-35As could be converted to the "E" model as a mud life update.
Fuel figures a only based on wing area increase. Such fighter could have more than double the range of F-35A and a much bigger external load at the expense of some of the maneuvering requirements
I have included the F-35A for comparison. the F-35E was made with Photoshop and CorelDRAW, using the "A" model pic.
