Just call it a stretch villanelle. Actually, I have seen Marilyn Hacker do them seven and even nine stanzas long, and I have done a curtal villanelle of five stanzas. The form is so easily recognizable that people will know which one you are playing with, no matter how many stanzas you decide to include. With form, it is only important that people know where you have set the net, not which net you decide to play with.
