I gave that a quick glance, but will read in detail later.

From what I gathered, he is referring to the “finiteness” of the envelope of matter that we call the “universe”.

If this envelope is growing, and filling up a void, it still means that the classical definition of the universe, i.e. the envelope of matter plus the space that it is advancing into, is infinite.
