The volume shows as redundant then?
If the volume is redundant then I would remove disk 4 with the NAS on, wait until the NAS sees it's out then reinsert it with the NAS still on, the NAS should start a resync and expand the volume.

It that doesn't work then contact support.
Of course you should always have a backup of the data on the NAS.
