If you really do have to use a screw extractor get a parallel set. You drill a hole with the supplied bit and tap in the extractor, slip on the nut and turn. Ridgid and Snapon do them and yes they are expensive.

As you have plenty sticking out file two flats parallel and use an adjustable spanner. Heat it and use penetrating oil. If you try the easy-out route make sure you drill a decent hole or you may find it just tears out.

Is it me? I thought the bolt was below the surface and thread bound enough to snap the bolt head off?

No, I can't read, and only looked at the first picture and thought one of them was the remaining bit. You could still file flats on the threaded bit between the jaws for a suitable spanner. You would at least be able to work it back and forth to free it up for an easy-out to do the rest if you couldn't undo it far enough for the threaded end to come out.

As it is still fitted I expect the gap is in use?
Drilling is the only option, I wouldn't even consider an extractor.
