Had it not happened, Valinor would have remained the same, so altering its geographical boundaries would be also something "out of plan" - and somewhat illogical, I would say.
But something like the Akallabeth or the removal of the Undying Lands was achievable only by Eru alone, and he is limitless. So although Valinor certainly wasn't endless before it's removal, it could well be so after. Nothing is impossible for Eru. A limitless livingspace would also be practical, condidering the potential problem of finding apartments for the ever growing numbers of immortal elves coming to live there.
