1. “[a] determination of whether there has been an increase in the period of detention should be made by comparing defendant’s existing aggregate maximum sentence with the maximum base determinate sentence imposed at resentencing. It is the outer limit of the aggregate term of imprisonment or supervision imposed at the resentencing which determines whether the Code sentence exceeds the 2A sentence.

[Id. at 299, 556 A. d 1295.]”
