This is not an LFS specific problem, but one around the whole mounting prinicple. As it stands (and I don't think it's likely to change), when you mount a filesystem on a directory, you can only see what is on that filesystem. If you look at it logically, you can see why it makes sense (hint: mounting CD/floppy/NFS/samba onto same directory... not wanting to see lots of files that are irrelevant).
My advice would be:
Mount the new partition somewhere else, and copy all your stuff over, if you wish, then unmount both and remount your new partition in /lfs.
Alternatively, you could copy only a specific part of your current LFS structure (such as /lfs/usr) over to the 4Gb partition, then mount them both: the original LFS partition on /mnt/lfs and the new one on /lfs/usr.
Just some thoughts.
