Green tea extract is a complex mixture of many different components. You may want to look into what component you want to focus on, its relative abundance in green tea and its extraction rate - a lot of that information can be found on pubmed.

In general, boiling the tea for a long time will get a more efficient extraction. However, the extract will likely be unpalatable.
