The period is extended for an untimed down because the foul occurred during the last timed down and the penalty was accepted. Team B would be better off declining the penalty and Mr Ref better tell him that option.

Unless you can convince me otherwise Tom, I'm going to have to disagree with you. The penalty, a false start, didn't occur during the down. It occurred prior to the snap. A down doesn't begin until the ball is snapped. Therefore, there is no untimed down.
