With F39 / F40 there was a (unfortunately unannounced) change in the LVM device management. 

You may have to add to the vgscan command a parameter 
  vgscan —-devices /dev/nbd0p3,/dev/{your_second_disk} 

See https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/administration/lvm-management-cheatsheet/ 

Same with all the other vg… commands, specifically vgchange



Alternatively, libguestfs might be able to recognize the additional volume better.
