When you approach the end of LP and start missing reps. Should you do an extra set to make up for the misses so that total volume would be 15 reps?
Example. your last set of squats you got squashed on last rep. You only were able to do 4. Shall you rest a minute or two and do one more rep or
forget it and try the same weight next time?

Everything changes yet stays the same: two years ago someone on here only wanted feedback from those who had gotten their squats above 350lbs.
Russian, why the hell would you only rest 1-2 minutes on a third set heavy enough that it squashed you at 4 reps? Rip's article on the Three Questions clearly states that increased rest time between sets is a tool that can be utilized to extend the NLP further if you start getting stuck.
Get the book. (The grey).
If you hadn't disqualified a bunch of people from responding, I'm sure you would have gotten a lot of posters willing to share what they learned when they read the grey (and blue) book.
