Though storage management API supports resizing page blobs (which is how VMs are stored) through Set Blob Properties operation but don’t do that because it messes up VHD completely. If I understand correctly about a VHD, it has a 512 bytes footer which contains information about that VHD. The Set Properties operation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee691966.aspx) just adds bytes to the existing page blob thereby messing this 512 byte footer. Your option would be to create a larger VHD and transfer the contents of your existing VHD to the new VHD.
