If you have CA's PDSMAN, this will let you increase the directory blocks without reallocating the file through the EZYEDIT option.
Pure ISPF PDS
You can create a PDS with more directory blocks and copy the old PDS to the new PDS. (You could then delete the old one and rename the new one.)
Another option would be to create a PDSE. In a PDSE the directory grows as required, but the data set requires more space, and programs that process it require more time (many nanoseconds - only a concern when your company is renting CPU time). IBM publishes Redbook SG24-6101-01 Partitioned Data Set Extended Usage Guide. Also technical note Tips0567. Redbooks can be viewed at www.redbooks.ibm.com. Search on PDSE.

I have successfully added space to a PDS that was originally allocated with zero secondary space as SPACE=(TRK,(1,,35)). I ran a batch IEBCOPY to copy members and coded SPACE=(TRK,(1,15)) parameter on the output PDS giving a new secondary space amount. I extended and got more space.
