Hi danpool,
About spreading out the wireless connection over an area, you will need to do RF planning. Kindly read pages 41 to 50 of the WC7520 reference manual here.
What NETGEAR ProSAFE Access Point model will you use with the WC7520 wireless controller? If ever you have WNDAP360 access points, according to the review I read online, it says that strong signal strength from a distance of 75 feet can be achieved within a laboratory environment. Here is the link about the review on the WNDAP360 access point.

Hi danpool,
Welcome to the community! :)
I don't think the wireless range of the Access Point will be lengthen if its connected to a Wireless Controller. The wireless range of a certain Access Point will stay the same even if its managed by a Wireless Controller.
