The UK Parliament has passed a law mandating that the Prime Minister (currently Boris Johnson) must request an extension to the Brexit deadline by October 19th, unless a 'no-deal Brexit' has been approved by the UK Parliament.

However, is there anything in the wording that would prevent him from requesting an extension to November 1st (i.e. a pointlessly short one)?
