You wouldn't want it anyway. 

There isn't any way to "resize" an fault-tolerant RAID
system (1/3/5) and you can get more flexable, reliable
results with LVM than RAID0 anyway.

The way to add space into a VG is by incorporating new
PV's with vgextend. If you want to grow a fault-tolerant
system then build new RAID5 groups and add them as new
PV's.
