You should at least be able to get 64 devices from the eckd driver (and I think he can pick another major number after that). You don't sound near to that yet. By far the easiest is to add a couple of physical volumes to the volume group and extend the logical volumes (if you have striped, you can still do that as long as you add the right number of PV's).
