If you have extra space somewhere else, you don't even have to resize
your partitions if you add secondary swap space as a swap file. Swap files
are slower than regular swap partitions, but since part of your swap already
is a partition, you might not notice that much of an impact.
As root do something like:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M size=64
# mkswap /swapfile
# swapon /swapfile
This sets up, formats, and attaches a 64 meg area called swapfile as
additional swap space.
If you want to make it available on boot, then you'll also need to add it to
your /etc/fstab.
