You can add more rock to an established tank. That dry rock will likely cycle and go through its own uglies for awhile, but it shouldn't crash the tank or anything like that.

Fine to add dry rock. It won't cycle as such, it will just gradually get inhabited by bacteria and small organisms and alga etc etc.
