Making code blocks clear with the :extend face property?

I'd like my org-mode code blocks to look like "blocks" and I'm not
sure if the `:extend` face property can do this.

**Context**

I delineate org-mode code blocks by setting the `org-block` face
background  to a slightly different color than my default background
and setting its `:extend` text property to make the block look a bit
cleaner (extends the color change to the end of the window).

However, I'd like the background color change to render as a
**block**, extending only partially, rather than the way`:extend`
normally behaves -- extending to the end of the window.

Is this possible?

IIUC the only thing that might help is the `:box` attribute.
