No.
The packs aren't like flash storage where they have spare blocks to use when one block wears out. Essentially switching in something that wasn't used at all before.

The cells are all connected physically, being charged and drained. They do not connect and disconnect cells when wear occurs.
They have software limitations on how far to charge and discharge (at what voltage and c rating).
Yes, a larger pack will last longer if the charge/discharge cycles aren't as "deep". But no, they don't have spare cells just to cover wear.
