By default LVM1 should make a backup of the volume group metadata before the vgextend command adds a new PV- it's worth checking /etc/lvmconf to see if you can restore the old metadata. Use vgcfgrestore -f <file> -n <vgname> -ll to see the physical & logical volumes in the backups and restore from the last good one (only the metadata is restored - data in the LVs remains unchanged). See the man page for vgcfgbackup/vgcfgrestore for more details.
