I'd be tempted to just make these two new 512M spaces into new
partitions for a RAID-1 and move your /boot to that, abandoning the
RAID-1 you have for the /boot that is using the partitions at the
start of the disk. What would you lose? A couple of hundred MB?
Exchanged for a much easier life.

You could do away with the swap partitions entirely and use swap
files instead.

You could recycle the first partitions as swap, too.

Cheers,
Andy
