I doubt he would stay at Milan for the rest of this new contract, something that is true for most 30 yo players who extend an already existing contract.
As someone else mentioned already, this is done for the sole purpose of not losing him for free. Lets also not forget that Seedorf is one of the leaders in the dressing room and is one of the most respected and outspoken players currently at Milan, so his influence on the team is not limited to on-the-field preformances only.
I personally would expect to see Seedorf stay for 2 or so more years, not counting the current season, with his role becoming more and more that of a quality squad player as time progresses ... something similar to what happened with Rui. And then, when he's 33-34 yo, I would guess he would go back to Ajax as he's often said that he would like to finish his career at the club that introduced him to football.
