This is from 2014 but the first I’ve heard of it, your mileage may vary.

Shouldn't they be able to extend its range by making it a biplane or triplane?

Depends on what the gliding capability is. It may be able to dive from FL20 or higher and build up enough speed to level out for a landing. In that case, the parachute system would be automatically disabled at higher altitudes to prevent accidental deployment. Up to that altitude, it would be an available option to the pilot.

Well, I thought I knew how parachutes worked...Maybe I don't know how sentences work, either.
