Free Select tool alternatives?

Photo 
The pic I'd like to edit is as follows:

Credit to @PixLab for teaching me how to use the free select tool here. Any other alternate ways to edit this pic to my liking? Also, any way to use free select too (e.g, using it like a rectangular select to make it easier to select larger areas)

Even considering your earlier posts, You will have to give a clue as to how you want to edit.

An alternative to a free select might be the Quick Mask tool where you paint in a selection. Big brush = fast cover, small brush for details. Find it bottom of the Select menu, also shift-Q also the little icon bottom left of the image window. see:
https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-image...utton.html

White paints in and black paints out. Grey(s) = partial transparency The X key swaps FG / BG colours.

You can also use Quickmask to modify a selection made with another tool, painting in (or out) parts of the selection.

Lengthen this part horizontally?  Perhaps it should read vertically??

Yeah, vertically. Sorry, I was really tired and I forgot to proofread it.
