That is "by design". It you want another _scl_prefix, you should build another collection that depends on collection you want to use.

Extending as in "building more packages into the same collection"? You shouldn't be able to do that, that is by desing of RHSCL afaik.
Extending as in "building my own collection that depends on collection from RHSCL"?  You will be able to do that.

So if the only problem is that you cannot redefine _scl_prefix in every package, then I guess there is not problem, because scl-utils are meant to work this way.
