Why 4NT vs 3♣? Sure, if it's repeated asking bids, maybe. But if not (and I don't think we play asking bids after our equivalent 1♣-p-1♠-2♦), 3♣ then 4NT makes everything clear. If they bid 5♦ first then I didn't get across that I only care about controls, though, I guess.
But I think that if I have shown 5, and have 7, and partner is keycarding rather than showing his suit, that I have "extra length". If partner doesn't have 3, and cares about the ♣Q itself, that's a problem - but it's not my problem.
Responding to RCKB With Two Aces and Extra Length Extra length = trump queen

I voted 2 more extra length but it all depends, for example
1♥--3♥
4NT ....
3♥ was 4+ ♥ and inv. If i have 5 card ♥ and opener asks for Q i will of course show it as i have it.
