This is probably because the file system is almost full. Before the file systems expands, it needs free space for the meta-data by growing the volume 500 mb, it provides plenty of meta-data space for a larger grow.
You could then do a defray fsadm –E and –D will report on degree of fragmentations of extents and data. Fsadm –e –d will perform the defrag.

When I have had a similar problem in the past, I found it would work if I increased in a couple small increments first, then on to the larger size. For instance add +1G, then +4G, then the remainder to get to the size you desire. If the first increase of a 1G add fails, try 500m instead. I used to know the reason behind this but I've forgotten it now. I know it works for me though.

I'm not sure, but if log segment (plex) is too small, it could block FS extension.

How to extend the filesystem in this scenario?.
