why would you want to do that? if your vg is running out of free
extents, why not just add a new LUN from the SAN and extend the vg with
it?

you can't really increase the physical volume, because there's a swap
partition between your physical volume and the free space.
use fdisk to partition the free space as /dev/sda14, create a physical
volume on the new partition (pvcreate /dev/sda14) and extend the
volume group with the new physical volume (vgextend yourvg /dev/sda14).
