Adding a third vector that pokes out of the plane at an angle allows the entire 2D sheet to slide up and down through space. With three freely varying scalars (), the span expands from a plane to encompass every conceivable point in the 3D volume, effectively filling all of 3D space.
Conditions: Starting with two linearly independent vectors spanning a plane; Introducing a third vector that is NOT in that plane
