type "pvs" and see how big the /dev/sda2 pv is. It appears to be all of the disk right now. /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 are partitions. the rest are lv's inside a vg on the //dev/sda2(pv) in lvm. That would mean that you need lvresize current ones and/or lvcreate new new lv's to create fses on. Find a lvm tutorial document and it should explain it. The basics are pv are physical volumes on a disk device, vg are volume groups (with one or more pv in the vg), and lv are logical volumes and 1 or more of them exist in inside a vg. Note that xfs_growfs will grow the filesystem, but you cannot shrink a xfs filesysteem without doing the create new copy the data and delete old (and have 2x the space around). installing it like they did allows you to choose how you use the rest (enlarge / or create new lv's with their own fs'es).
