Changing the size of something is called resizing.

Not true.  It isn't as straightforward; you have to know a map of the
PEs and specify them to the pvmove command like (assuming the
destination PEs are not in use):

pvmove /dev/sda2:1000-1100 /dev/sda2:100-200

IIRC you get a warning, and it is slow (obviously, reading and writing a
bunch of data on the same drive is slow).
