The approach is currently not supported.  It would need a change to
mdadm to find the old superblock and relocate it to the new end of the
partition. 

The only currently 'supported' way it to remove devices one at a time,
resize them, and add them back in as new devices, waiting for the
resync.

I think it does, but I cannot promise anything.
