Currently doing my DLA Piper application and it seems to only ask for a 250 word news story and then there's a section to upload a CV and 'other documents'

What have other people uploaded at this stage?

There's been no section to talk about work experience and extra-curriculars or even why DLA Piper - is it acceptable to write a document (longer than a cover letter) talking about all of this?

Seems very unclear...

Hey, your cv is where you can mention your work experience and extra curricular. I think the other docs they refer to is for mitigating circumstances etc. They don’t directly ask why the firm at application stage, guess that will tested more during an ac.
Hope that helps :)
