I think the suggestion is about right. You want one consistent sub-floor which won't flex or contract differently and it will allow you to improve the thermal efficiency. It would also give you the opportunity to re-route any pipes or services at the same time. Alternative would be to overboard the original floor boards and build things up that way but wouldn't seem the best option.
1 = original floor boards
2 = OSB boards in the extension
3 = ply that was on top of the floor which was tiled
