view-entity used to be able to be extended. I used it in several places in 9.x. They are supposed to be extendable currently in entitymodel.xsd.
However, if you extend one, you get a runtime error about the base view-entity not existing even when the base entity and the extended one are in the same file. Not a big deal as I just modified your view, but I like to keep my changes in hot-deploy to make upgrading easier.
