Would it not be easier to just replace with a larger disk - mirror to the same size, and 
have another partition afterwards.

You end up with 2pvs (both mirrored, I would expect), rather than the "nicer" answer of a 
single pv, but as long as the whole thing is then controlled through LVM is there really any 
loss as a result?
