Adding more rows or columns would not solve the problem of low expected frequencies in a chi-square test for independence; it could actually exacerbate the issue by further distributing the counts across more categories, potentially leading to even more cells with expected frequencies below 5. Combining rows or columns, or increasing the sample size, are appropriate strategies to address this issue.
