You can safely extend the partition to increase the available storage. My original Glo went to a 16GB µSD card with no issues. My Clara HD currently has a 128GB µSD card installed.
Agreed. When you clone a disk image (and this is directed to the OP), the original partition size is included in the transfer. When I cloned my 2GB Mini µSD disk image last month onto a newer 32GB card, it was suddenly a 2GB card. I had to expand the partition size afterwards. It’s not surprising that Kobo would batch clone thousands of cards at a time, regardless of the destination cards’ actual capacity. They probably got a better deal on the larger cards than the smaller ones.
