Question : Adding Disk Space to VM Ware Server

I recently bought a new server and have VMWare ESX 4.0 loaded. I found some articles alluding to the best way to partition the drive space. That is done and all setup and I have a few VMs loaded. I am now thinking I want to put a few more VMs on this box and am running low on disk space. I have room for 4 more drives in the server (actually more if I remove the DVD drive bay). The 4 drives currently installed are configured as RAID 5. So anyway, is it possible to add more drive space to the existing server and have it allocated for additional VMs? If so, does anyone have a very ELEMENTARY walkthrough on how to do so... step-by-step guide would be nice.
