After resizing you'd probably need to re-install grub...
An alternative is to format the USB stick with a ZFS pool and boot that
way (as a bonus you can then take snapshots and I've heard that it boots
a little faster than pcfs...):

If you want to stick with pcfs, you could follow similar steps to format
your USB stick at its full capacity and then install grub on it.
The reason that the image is fixed at such a small size is so that
people can use it on pretty much any USB stick they have lying around
(If we made the image 8GB and a person had lots of 4GB sticks lying
around.... etc.)

You can also just resize the fat partition after writing to the UBS stick.

Likely no, cause it's a disk image.
