Adding another extender/repeater from an old TP extender

Hi,
I have a particular physical setup that requires me to extend an extender.
Will the TL-WA850RE extender allow a next hop (repeater) to connect to it in it's default mode? (or would it need to be setup with WDS mode)?
If so can I do this with a router in repeater mode , or AP mode? Or can I just get another small extender?
e.g. could I extend it with this one?
TP-Link TL-WA850RE Wireless N300 Range Extender
Or this one
TP-Link TL-WA801N Wireless N300 Access Point
The first time I tried to extend the extender over to an old asus router but it didn't support repeater mode, and I could not figure out WDS bridging (although I'm not sure if the asus actually supported that anyway).
The reason I want to extend the extender, rather than use a router repeater for the first hop and then connect to the extender is just because it's location is going into a kitchen and the kitchen owner wants minimum invasion.
Thanks
