Namely, we have sent a Re-Invite on an existing session and received 100
Trying reply.
100 Trying reply turned off Timer B. After 100 Trying, we haven't got
any answer on Re-Invite.

[...]

My question is which timer should control the duration of INVITE
transaction? Can Timer B me expanded and NOT switched off if provisional
response is received (Figure 5) or it would be better to implement a new
timer. If you think that a new timer is a better solution, can you
suggest it's guiding value?

I think that 3261 specifies (or implies) that Timer C controls this situation, 
as would happen with an initial INVITE.  Timer C's usual duration is 3 minutes.

Under the 3261 assumption that re-INVITEs require approval of the UAS's such a 
long timer makes sense.  But in the real case that re-INVITEs are processed 
automatically, such a long timer doesn't make a lot of sense.  OTOH, the timer 
only comes into play when communication has failed between the UAs, so the 
timeout duration is not of much practical importance.
