No ideas to increase size at storage level without disruption in this specific situation ... Since you have w2K3 I suspect you can use the tiny volumemanager that's included with the OS and assign a new lun to the host, thus expanding existing volume on the new lun (you need dynamic drives obviously).
if it's an existing meta you can just add members (different process whether it's striped or concat), but if it's a single device and you need to add another device to it and turn into a meta ..you will need to unmap the device, add another member to it and map it back. Another way is what Stefano suggested ..but personally i would stay away from dynamic drives.
