contents We consider subsets $S$ of a metric space $M$ such that Lipschitz mappings defined on $S$ can be extended to Lipschitz mappings on $M$, and we show that the union of such subsets has the same property under appropriate geometric conditions. We then derive several consequences to the isomorphic structure and classification of Lipschitz and Lipschitz-free spaces. Our main result is that the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(M)$ is isomorphic to its countable $\ell_1$-sum when $M$ is either a net $N_X$ in any Banach space $X$ or the integer grid $\mathbb{Z}_{\ell_1}$ in $\ell_1$. We also prove that the Lipschitz space $\mathrm{Lip}_0(\mathbb{Z}_{\ell_1})$ is isomorphic to $\mathrm{Lip}_0(\ell_1)$ and that $\mathrm{Lip}_0(N_X)$ contains a complemented copy of $\mathrm{Lip}_0(X)$, among other results. This answers questions raised by Albiac, Ansorena, Cúth and Doucha and Candido, Cúth and Doucha, respectively, and extends previous results by the same authors as well as Hájek and Novotný.
