Default Letting a kit wine sit awhile before bottling

Thanks for the patience so far. By now, I should be done with the
chilean merlot I have been making from a kit. However, everything is
being stored at a friend's house. He has been busy with work and we
haven't had time to get together and rack the wine into bottles.

Letting the wine sit awhile longer doesn't disturb, but I wanted to make
sure my thinking is correct. At this point, the wine is just
clarifying--I have added all the chemicals after having it ferment
initially. At worst, it'll stay as it is now. At best, it'll clarify
further and or improve.

I want to know if this is poor thinking, and that I should be putting
all this into bottles ASAP. I could be waiting up to 2 weeks for a
chance to get to my friend's place to do this. I can make alternative
arrangements if it seems there would be a problem letting it sit.
