I would like to install 2 additional lights. Since I cannot extend the
existing 1 Gang box (it is plastic and no side screw holes for
extension), the only option I have is to remove it and put in a new 3
gang junction box.

Use a drywall saw to enlarge the existing opening to accomodate the
triple gang box. Reach through the new opening to pull the wires out of
the old box. Now you can use a saw/hammer/chisel to destroy the old
box, then silp the nnew one in.
