"of which" in separate sentence

In the sentence, "They had to deal with the base's destruction, the extent of which was unknown."

Should "The extent of which was unknown" be a second sentence?

  

Top answer

No, it;s a subordinate, relative clause. You'd have to say eg They had to deal with the base's destruction. "
