Well there are two options, either includes developing a mass launcher to dump the waste for extra lift. First you could put up a modest scaffolding outside the station to hold the excess progress modules until you lift a 6 sided dock module that could link with the ISS and allow the 5 extra modules to be linked there. Then when you build up 4 more progress modules, you'd have to send up another 6 sided and it would extend the first outward from the station.

Or you could redesign progress to have two hatches, one in front and one in back, so that with every docking of progress you add to the station. Not sure how long it would take or how expensive it would be to redesign progress or design a new 6 sided docking module.
