Sure. Dig down to the same depth as the existing pad, make sure the soil is well compacted, form the added size and pour the concrete. How is the old shed attached to the slab? You may have to install new j bolts. Some people might tell you to install expansion joints but if you are only talking a couple of inches, they are not needed.
