Note: I have only used parted a couple of times, but with the partition
layout you listed, expanding any but the last partition would be a serious
pain in the but.  If your last partition is the swap partition, you
might be stuck.  But again, I have only used parted a couple of times.

Check parted out first, at least.  It is free.
