You cannot change the size of a .HFV-file, as far as I know. But you can 
create another, bigger one, move your files and delete the previous one.
You can do the same with the System folder, but you have to be carefull. 
It was described somewhere, was it the FAQ or ERNSTOUD.TXT?

1 Under DOS: type makehfv xxx.hfv xxx filesize.
2 Start Executor
3 You will find another disk named XXX
4 Copy everything in your System disk to XXX
5 Rename XXX to System. If this doesn't work, rename System to anything, and
then rename XXX to system.
6 Exit Executor
7 In DOS, copy System.hfv to System.bak (or is it called Exsystem.hfv in DOS, I
can't check right now?).
8 Delete System.hfv
9 Rename XXX.hfv to System.hfv
10 Start Executor and see if it works. If it doesn't, copy (in DOS) System.bak
to system.hfv
11 If it works, delete System.bak
