Not knowing the exact species I'll bet that crayfish is close to max size, maybe another molt or two.
I used to keep native crayfish and they all seemed to molt crazy for the first year and then stop right where yours has. I did find a huge crayfish in the wild that was almost twice a large as yours. It attempted to molt once and something went wrong with the molting process and it died.
The one I had for about two years ate about 13 fish. I usually fed it krill on a skewer..it loved that and would eat pellets. They are scavengers so any meaty foods work.
