You may be able to accomplish what you want by using an intermediate temporary disk and doubling the work (two replacements). Perhaps the server supports USB so it can use an external USB drive as the initial replacement. There is also the possibility of replacing the disk with a suitably sized disk file which is stored on some other server or an independent local filesystem with enough space. You could access temporary storage on another server using iSCSI. Server performance may suck while the inferior temporary device is in place. Whatever you do, make sure that the intermediate storage is never any larger than the final device will be.
