Yes they will build out deeper. I've found it rarely to be help in the long
run myself.
I do ten to run 9 frames as frames get older though, not because of
rolling, but
because 10 frames can be very difficult to get into the box as propolis
builds up on
the edges of the frame.  10 new frames in a box is a very loose fit, but 10
old frames
can be very tight.
