I don't know what your "other issues" are, but if you have
access to PM, fixing your problem will require <<5min of
your time. Just queue up the 4-5 actions you need done and
walk away from your machine for a while. Trivial to do.
Also, you don't need to devote all of the currently unused
space to swap, once you expand the extended partition you can
create a swap partition and another linux partition that you
can mount and use for some part of your file system. Or you
can even expand your fat partition instead.
Unless there is something seriously wrong with your linux install,
I see no point in spending vastly more time to fix a rather
simple problem.
Of course, it is your time to do with as you please. However,
let me again say that fixing your problem with PM is extremely
trivial to do.
