You'd have to use a higher resolution timebase.
Using accumulators to shape the controller can give you the illusion of
longer patterns, if you just need synchronised-LFO type effects.

Triggering tracks manually on P3 is made tricky because the sequencer engine
generates all the data to be transmitted at the end of theclock tick one
tick before it is actually sent. That keeps the processing latency to an
absolute minimum, but it means that a manual trigger to activate a pattern
would need to arrive at least one clock tick before you want the pattern to
come in.
That wouldn't be a problem if you were doing it by hand, as you could
compensate for the response latency, but it wouldn't be so good for
triggering from another sequencer.
There is another approach I could use for manual stepping of patterns, which
I may investigate.

There are remote controls for global transposing, and soon to be implemented
controls for access to all the accumulator states, which will allow
individual tracks to be tranposed.
