I've done this.
Interestingly if you backup a volume as an image file on Linux, restoring it to a larger device seems to auto expand the last partition. 4G Pi4 SD card to a 256G card

Thanks everyone. I was able to remove the SD Card, expand the partition, re-insert the SD Card and test it. I had 3.2 GBs of space instead of 1.3 GBs. Then, taking JSWolf's advice, I took the SD Card back out, backed it up to an image file and copied that file to a 32 GB SD Card. In my case I did have to expand the partition with Gparted afterwards. At any rate, I've got 28.2 GBs of space available on my Mini now. (What I'm going to do with it, I have no idea.)
And, for backups, I still have the original 4 GB SD Card and the Image file.
For those, like me, who've never made an image file or wrote one, these are the commands I used.
To copy the SD Card to and image file:
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=mini.img
To write the Image file to SD Card:
dd if=mini.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
Again, thanks for all the help. I now have a "modern" Mini, especially when I add the amber Glocusent reading light.
