Essential Graphics - changing length of effects

I'm editing a sports game and have previous used basic text with a black background for quarter, score and timecode.

Having recently moved to Premiere Pro, I started doing the same, but am looking to up my game a bit and use some of the snazzy graphics in the Essential Graphics window.

There's a nice 'Sports Lower Third Side' effect, which I have edited for the running score and quarter, but there's one problem I can't see how to fix - the effect has a max duration of 8 seconds, and I can't seem to change it. Obviously I really don't want to copy and paste it for every eight seconds of play!

Is there a way to lengthen the clip, or non-constrained alternatives available? Surely there must be an open ended length score graphic available somewhere? I want to keep the score up continuously, and not just have it appear on scoring. I quess I could just take a screenshot of it and reimport as an image to put text on top of, if all else fails.

It would be nice to have the timecode on top of one of these graphics throughout - I can't seem to change the typeface of the timecode, but at least without a background it can sit above an effect background.

Thanks in advance for any help on this!
