You can create a larger inlay by using the current size inlay as a template, but it won't be easy.
If you've been successful the new inlay will fit perfectly in the inlay pocket. If it needs a bit of adjustment it will be because it's too large so you can just sand it down to fit.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

- Cut the inlay piece out of a suitable thickness bit of MDF, plywood or similar using the small bush
- Cut a square frame around the removed inlay in the waste piece of MDF to give enough clearance for the larger guide bushing to follow the outline of the new template
- Stick or clamp the waste piece of MDF to the stock you're cutting your inlay piece from
- Attach your new MDF template to your stock inside the square cut-out in the waste piece with double sided tape
- Using the large bush cut around the outside of the template. This is the hard part, you may find it quite difficult to accurately follow the template with the router.
