Ok ... first, you cannot "expand" the virtual disk in this manner. Right now, your options are 1) Create a second array across the same set of disks, or 2) backup data on that volume, delete it, recreate the array using the full size of the disks.
The article referenced to is for a reconfigure - expanding your array by adding ADDITIONAL disks to the array. You can reconfigure to RAID 0 then back again, but that will not change anything. The best option is to backup RAID 5, delete, and recreate.
