You are allowed to stay up to 16 months on a visitors visa and they may allow you to extend up to 24 months. After that you have to exit even if it is just for a couple of days. On your return the whole process will start over again.
As long as you are not stepping on anybodies toes and polite they are and will remain flexible.
