Not gonna lie, this would be a complete turnoff to me. Something something exploding offers and whatnot. If you can't spare a week for someone new to start, something is probably out of whack. If they keep pushing back, sure, but if it's a week "because I want to help out my team," are you going to hold that against them? Would you want them to bail on you like that when they leave your company?

That's the thing: you're letting your new team down now and prioritizing the old team over us.

I wouldn't want them to bail but I would understand.

[edit] Also the OP is asking about the situation of going back for another extension so that is the context of my answer.
