trv then controls them temp
have you worked out pipe sizing and rest house to see if the boiler can take the new rad

Radiator ratings are meaningless unless you know at what delta T the rating was taken.
And BTUs are obsolete units - work in kW.
Bigger radiators will heat the room up quicker, which is better if you use heating intermittently.

Do you mean the F30E Themaclassic combi boiler? If so, this can provide anything from 36,000 to 100,000 BTU.
Your rads only add up to 22,300 BTU, so you have plenty of spare capacity. In fact, from the heating point of view, your boiler is seriously oversized - but that's what happens when you have a combi.
