You will probably encounter difficulty if you exceed the original total image
size, however.  I've experienced this.  I had to delete other things I
thought were unnecessary before I could add files.  I ended up going with
remastering from an on-disk copy (as Sean said).  Much simpler when you are
increasing the total size.
