IF YOU DON”T continue to pump additional water out, yes you are right, it cannot cont to expand.The way I water pump when using a hand pump, is I bring it up to my vacuum level, lets say 5 in hg. As the penis expands, the vacuum level drops, so I pump it up to 5 again. This allows the penis to continue to expand at a force of 5 in hg. IF I didn’t pump the vacuum level up to 5 again, you are right, it would not cont to expand in that environmental, because it would have to push water out of the tube, and the valves of the pump will not allow it.

Great. We are addressing the key point finally. Stop here for a moment please: you are at 5hg in water. Which force the penis has to fight to expand? The compressive force of water, right? Which force the penis has to fight when pumping with air? The compressive force of air, right? What those who pump in water feel, is not more expansion, but more force : more compressive force on their penis, which has to fight an higher force to expand.
That’s why they say that, with the same level of force, they get less fluid build up with water pumping than air pumping. No explanation of less fluid build up with water pumping is satisfying, IMHO, other than this : penis, to reach expansion, has to fight more compressive force in water than in air. As an analogy, experienced pumpers do recommends to pump wrapped to minimize fluid build up (I think it was Gprent that gave this advice, could be wrong though).
Now the next stage: when pressure drops, you pump out more water; well, you could pump out more air when pumping with air, when pressure drops - and you’ll need less force than pumping out water. Air can expands means not that much: air will expand only where there is no penis. In the same perspective, penis will expand only where there is no water and will expand more where the water is less dense - at the top of the cylinder.
Giving that the pressure is higher at the bottom, when pumping with water (I know you believe this is a negligible factor, but I don’t believe that), together with the bouyancy force and the compressive force on the sides, you’ll have that, when pumping with water the penis is more pulled ‘ahead’, when pumping with air, penis is expanded in all directions - so, at the same level of total pulling force, you’ll have more girth expansion in air than in water.
Hope it is clear what I’m meaning. This is the picture that, so far, seems more to makes sense to me.
Fuck, it was a fatiguing post.
