I have so many questions about that freaking creature. Can it partially unfold to reach anything arbitrarily far away? And how would it go about washing it's infinite surface area?

That depends on the decay factor of one centaur to the next. If the centaurs shrink by anything more than a factor of two, then no. The creature will converge onto a single length.

Judging by the image the centaura shrink with about a factor of two so the entire creature should be either infinitely long or just very very long.
