You are confusing RAM and Flash here...
Flash can never serve as process memory, it will always stay "just" storage.

You could in theory move some parts of the storage from the internal
flash to some external flash (like MMC). But this will not help much.
The internal Flash is 50% free and using JFFS2 you can store around
twice as much data in it (since it uses on the fly compression).

The 64MB RAM is the amount of memory you get and can use. Definitely not
more and hopefully not less ;)
