This is not about whether the increased AOO range stacks. IMO it does, but more importantly it has already been discussed in This Thread.
My question is:
Can you move AWAY from a target you are attacking as part of the AOO?
By RAW it seems like you can. As per Combat Patrol you can "move as part of these attacks" but it doesn't say you need to move toward your target. RAI I think that is so a melee character can move up to someone to make their AOO - Its a combat patrol after all.
On a ranged PC though this can be either amazing or problematic, depending on your point of view. If you CAN move anywhere you want as part of the AOO does that mean you can dodge attacks because AOO's resolve first. For instance, if an allosaurus pounces you could you use this to move perpendicular to their charge - thus giving you an AOO and negating their attack. Or move out the AOE of a spell being cast near you?

By raw it seems like you can, but remember you would also provoke an attack of opportunity from your opponent when you move, unless you tumble or something. THis could also theoretically be done with a reach weapon.
I dont think its unbalanced, its a cool if potentially annoying combo that takes alot of investment and alot of sacrifice to set up. And it can be bypassed by intelligent enemies pretty easily.
