Are the platforms at Ally Pally long enough for more than 2 x 313
units anyway?

I would have hoped so given the WAGN regularly run 6 car trains into
Moorgate from the GN Inner Suburban network. Unless I'm missing
something? - not a service I use very much these days.

My point was that the only way of providing more trains would be to stop
some of the GN Outers. They are all made up of four car units of classes
317 and 365. Obviously a four car train could stop but is there room for
eight cars? The GN Inners use class 313 three car units, so the trains are
three or six cars.
