Uh, you basically want to restore a partition image into a bigger partition? In that case, just write the image to the partition and leave the rest as it is. In order to extend the filesystem to the whole partition, you need to alter fs metadata, so dd is the wrong tool for that - you might want to have a look at resize2fs or so.
Sorry in case I got you totally wrong.
