Maybe I'm wrong. Enlarging a plex will give it more raw space, but the existing filesystem will still be the same maximum size. You need to use growfs(8) to make the actual filesystem use the newly-added space, if you don't want to dump/newfs/restore. See the growfs man page for details and caveats.
