You may actually see a cycle adding dry rock. The whole cycle process is the bacteria and "bugs" colonizing the new areas (sand or rock).
You might look to add cycled live rock to avoid a cycle. If the amount of rock you are adding is minor compared to the existing quantity of rock I doubt if you would see much of an impact either way. HTH.

Yeah adding live rock you may get some die off but overall that would be how I would approach the situation.
What are your tank inhabitants, how much LR do you have now and tank size.
These would also play ino the decision if it were me. If I had a bunch of stuff I didn't want to risk I would go slow anad add few pieces every other week until it was where I liked it, but if there was not a bunch of delicate livestock then I might add the total new rock all at once.

I have a small clown, cardinal, emerald crab, snails and hermits. Also have a hammer, an acan frag, some zoas, and a kenya tree. I could probably add a little at a time, but have some new frags to pick up from Wicked Demon. Guess most of those could sit on the bottom until I get all the rock added and my LED's installed. Guess a little at a time makes the most sense.
