It doesn't appear to me that there's any transfer of live loads directly over the beam (ie no columns transfering loads from the roof etc...). It appears to be ok and I don't think that any additional support would be needed. You'd still need to check with a structural engineer or ask any contractor based on their experience if the beam can go the distance you want unsupported.
