No one is stepping forward, but this looks fairly straightforward, since
there is unused space; I think the commands in man btrfs-filesystem
and man btrfs-subvolume are what you want, but I am not qualified to
tell you how to use them.  It seems there aren't any btrfs experts on
this list.  Maybe try discourse, the web forum?  Or a web search might
turn up a recipe, since this has to be a common request.
