Comment:

 There is not an intuitive extent on the sphere, or we would provide one.
 If you want a mercator extent or something to use on a slippy map, you can
 make one yourself, by reprojecting to mercator and getting the usual
 planar extent. If you want it expressed in geographics, reproject it back
 to geographic. It will be something that will look like an extent on a
 square map.
