you can always use the extra copies as dining room chair extenders for a young family.

这句英语是什么意思?有相近的汉语表达吗?
上下文:

Chapter 1 has some information that will be useful to development managers and others who need to plan hardware projects. It's very embarrassing to be brought up short near the end of a hardware development project by the realization that you need a driver. Sometimes you'll be able to find a generic driver that will handle your hardware. Often, however, such a driver won't exist and you'll need to write one yourself. I hope to convince you managers in the first chapter that writing drivers is pretty hard and deserves your attention earlier rather than later. When you're done reading that chapter, by the way, give the book to the person who's going to carry the oar. And buy lots more copies. (As I told one of my college friends, you can always use the extra copies as dining room chair extenders for a young family.)

你总是能用到多出的副本就像总能餐桌上加一双筷子一样简单。

上下文plz

无论何时,你都可以给一个年轻的家庭(应该是指夫妇都还年轻的家庭吧)那些另外的复制品/备份作为餐厅椅子的备用。

大意就是说,如果有young family来了,餐厅的椅子不够了,你就可以给他们这些extra copies。

最好还是有上下文啦~~~~
