The payload bay could have enough finished quarters and life support to support the astronauts who would do the expansion of the station into the fuel tanks. But even if that seems a bit silly you could lash two Starships together and only use their payload bays and still have way more interior space than the ISS does now and do it all for much cheaper because Starships are so cheap.
