Well that can't happen, there isn't the land to do it, and even if there was the runway would have to be widened to comply with CAA regulations to take it into a different category.
However surely FR will have number crunched the 738sfp performance figures before announcing SEN as a base. After all the 737-800sfp has operated successfully for GOL out of Santos Dumont from a 4300 length of tarmac for many years.
