Yeah, usually by totally rebuilding the station. Easier said than done when you already have a skyscraper built over top of you. NYC is trying to revamp a lot of its current stations that see magnitudes of traffic more than they were designed to on a daily basis, and that's a massive undertaking.

What about digging more parallel tunnels and keeping with smaller stations?

That's good for track maintenance too.

Have you seen the location this is in? That should help answer, you would be trying to dig under skyscrapers.
