I never tried using such a long extension before,
but if they sell them, it should work, shouldn't it?
and what could possibly go wrong in just trying it out?* (assuming it's a not-so-bad-quality outdoor cable)

*see liability exclusion in appendix A

Late reply but...
It *should* be OK, but make sure you uncoil the entire length, otherwise they tend to overheat in the centre (burny, melty, not good).

How big is the PA? Wattage?

nb. not an electrician, but had a bit of a play with small PAs in the past.

mixer is 375W/375W, speakers 400W

though I suspect all sorts of other things will be run off it too

I would have no problem doing that.
Just make sure it's all unrolled, and see what it says it's rated to.

Check with an electrician if in doubt.

-edit-

Sounds like a party either way?
