How can I add new disks to my RAID 0 configuration?

I guess you know about the risks running a raid0 that if any of those 3-4 disks will fail all data is lost and you don't be protected against bit rot? You usually don't want to use raid0 and use a raid1 or raid10.
To extend the raid0 you would need to add the disks manually via CLI.
1.) connect new new disk of same size and performance characteristics to server
2.) clone the partition table from old disk to new disk using unique IDs
3.) sync the bootloader from old disk partition 2 to new disk partition 2
4.) add partition 3 of the new disk to pool via "zpool add" command: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/man/master/8/zpool-add.8.html
See paragraph "Changing a failed bootable device" for step 2 and 3 (but skip the "zpool replace" and use "zpool add" instead): https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS_on_Linux#_zfs_administration
