You will have to manually expand all of your friend's maps. If you want, you could also make a fully expanded map, and then make multiple copies of the fully expanded map.

Why is my map not expanding in Minecraft?

Make sure you're not shift clicking it out of your inventory, it won't expand the size if you do that. Also, you have to re-explore all the existing territory when you increase the size of a map, so you might as well make it as large as you'll want and then explore.

The cartography table can also make an existing map larger. To make a larger map simply place an already opened map into one of the slots on the left and some paper in the slots as well. Clicking on the output will consume both items on the left and give you a more zoomed out map. You can do this up to four times.
