Ok, I went through every single MMI menu option on my A6 and I stand corrected (and surprised). What I thought was the delay setting for turning off the lights was actually the time settings for turning headlights on automatically as it gets dark. I'm not sure why Audi discontinued this option as it was available on my 2009 A4 but it appears there's no adjustment for "coming home" any longer. There may be some change that can be done in the convenience module with Vag-Com. Perhaps someone has tried to find this?

I found this in the Audi glossery:

Coming Home / Leaving Home

The coming home and leaving home features offer increased comfort and security around your Audi. When exiting the vehicle, the front fog lights, tail lights and license plate light remain on for an extended period after locking the doors (coming home). When approaching the vehicle and unlocking the doors via the radio-operated remote control, these exterior lights are also switched on, to light the way to the vehicle in dark situations.

For Audi vehicles equipped with Multimedia Interface (MMI®), the coming home delay time is adjustable, for example, to coincide with the time needed to walk from the vehicle to the front door.
