Unless you want to try to resize your partition, using tools like resize2fs and fdisk (which sound risky), Is there some technical reason you can't have the swap in 2 chunks? If the priorities are set correctly, then the swap partition should be used before the swap file would be. Some other Unixes have traditionally also used the swap partition as a dump after a kernel panic, but I don't believe that Linux does this.
