Possible to extend system partition on a dynamic volume (Server 2003)?

-

here situation:
some months back, client of ours, needed new drives added existing server.  server domain controller, windows server 2003, , server in office.  client purchased several drives add existing raid-5 array, installed drives, extended array.  then, in order take advantage of additional space, converted volume (the volume) dynamic volume, , extended 1 of partitions (not system partition)

this has come bite us, system partition has run out of space.  moved off system partition, has been moved.  have possible out, in 1 of additional drives added hot spare.

the question is, if make hot spare drive in raid-5, can extend system partition additional space?  or, not possible extend system partition?

thank you,
jason a.
