We haven't written tools to resize the metadata area yet: you have to ask for more space when you ran the original pvcreates. If you really can't shrink it, there are workarounds involving storing the metadata elsewhere: either on a new PV created with a larger metadata area that you add to the VG, or else in the filesystem. Alternatively, depending what changes you've been making, you might be able to restore to a metadata backup - may lose changes if you've been updating the data in the areas moved though during the pvmove.
