man 8 lvs

Extents are the smallest units of space that you can allocate in LVM. Physical extents (PE) and logical extents (LE) has the default size of 4 MiB that you can configure. All extents have the same size. When you create a logical volume (LV) within a VG, LVM allocates physical extents on the PVs

Création LVs

lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n newlv vg_data

Script - get size lv_size & vgfree space

lvs --readonly --noheadings --nosuffix --units=m /dev/mapper/applivg-lv_plop -o lv_size
vgs --readonly --noheadings --nosuffix --units=m applivg -o vgfree

Pb

# pvcreate /dev/sda3
  Device /dev/sda3 not found (or ignored by filtering).

# pvcreate -vvv /dev/sda3 2>&1|grep '/dev/sda3'
        /dev/sda3: Skipping: Too small to hold a PV
