I do not know the goal of doing such thing, so this maybe will work for 
for you, or maybe not.
You can try do this form within the VM, of course without shutting it 
down. Make it to fill with garbage (or zeros, or whatever) the 
unallocated space of it's FS. This way, you will force the undrlaying 
sparse image file to occupy it's full length.
"wipe unallocated space" are your keywords.
