I've heard of mods doing many things to worlds, but I don't know if there are any mods which do this. 

If it isn't possible via mods, is it possible to delete embark data- yet leave the world and notes intact? (have a note at the embark site). Just posted about this in a different forum, but mods might have the solution.

Short answer: Nope.

Long answer: No, because embark size is 'hard-coded' after choosing a place and nothing at the moment can change it. In 2d verison, I think you cooould expand the map based on how north/south/east you went. It has been deleted from 3d for a reason - several thousands of suddenly added tiles would make any processor shit it's molten circuits in some terrible electronic diarrhea.

poop.

Are the world + the embark inseparable? Would gladly delete the embark region data stuff if I could start over.. sucks having this massive reclaim in the way if I abandon it.

It's my shitty kobold camp so it's not a major loss.. though my yak just nearly solo killed an alligator, I was thinking of making him a village hero- never butchering him, giving him his own area and filling it with cows for him to bang, etc etc... oh well.

Not exactly inseparable... you can just regen the whole world and start from scratch. Just press esc during the game, go to "export local image" and press e. Now there are several image files of the layers of your embark in the DF main folder and one "<name of your world>-param-<some numbers>.txt". In that text file there is the seed (and all the other data) that you need to enter while designing a new world with parameters. You'll get exactly the same world, as if you never played on it. Of course, everything you built so far, would be gone that way.
