Why do you have to do that?  It doesn't say to do that in the
documentation.  The new datafiles are reflected in the standby
controlfile through normal recovery and by issuing the 'alter database
create datafile' command.

There is no need to re-dump and copy a new standby controlfile, and
definitely no need to shut any database down.
