You cannot do this right now. Create extra target and expand volume to it. Multi-LUN code is currently under heavy testing and we should release it with V5.7 or V5.8 (much closer).

Noooo! More chances to see this feature in V5.8 then V5.7 that what I mean :)

P.S. But there's another idea! Start with version 10, then 9, then 8, then 7 ... down to zero and... BIG BOOOOOOM :))))

Can you explain once you've created an extra target how it is one expands a current volumes target to it?

Configure extra target with StarWind, use initiator to map it as a raw disk device and... iSCSI part stops here. Next goes generic Windows DMIO thing. Key words are "dynamic disk", "spanning volume" and "NTFS". Nice place to start and read about initial limitations is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/225551 and again, Google a bit as topic has very little in common with iSCSI in general.

P.S. Replace "DMIO" with "LVM", "Windows" with "Linux" and "NTFS" with "EXT3FS" and you have pretty much the same picture on Linux.
