As others have mentioned, you may or may not want to do this. For me, adding another 1GB of VDISK to several guests is probably not a good thing. If, as Willemina mentioned, you're not seeing _active_ paging _rates_, I would allocate real DASD instead. If it's going to get written out and then not referenced again for a very long time, you don't need it to be in virtual storage in z/VM. If you are seeing active paging rates, then you would be better off adding memory to the guests and let z/VM do the paging.
