NO! You must have 8 hours in the sleeper to extend (or as some say stop the clock, however so you know the clock doesn't stop, it keeps ticking so learn the phrase it extends the clock).
So if I start working @ 2:00 am my original 14 hour ends @ 4:00 pm, but if I drive say 6 hours (which puts me @ 8:00 am) and take an 8 hour sleeper break from (8:00 am to 4:00 pm) that extends my 14 hour to 12:00 am now the driving time from 2:00 am to 12:00 am should not total more than 11 hours. If I get my 2 hour break before then I would restart my 14 from the end of the previous.

So, if I go on duty at 5 AM and am on lines 3 &4 (with 1 off duty period of 1hr) until 2:45PM and then go to SB for 3hrs, do I still have to shut down at 7PM or can I go until 10PM now?

YES! You should still shut down @ 7:00 pm. If you do not want to split break then you can NOT drive passed that 14th hour. Now if you want to split break and you get 8 HOURS IN THE SLEEPER you can "EXTEND" your 14 hour clock by 8 hour (or however many hours you have in the "SLEEPER").
So if you started @ 5:00 am and drove 3 hours and then took 8 hours in the sleeper your 14 hour would now end 3:00 am the following day. The driving time from 5:00 am to 3:00 am should not total more than 11 hours of line 3 time (driving).
That was just a quick easy explination
