My brother just tackled this panel redoux on his 36 and may have some pointers. I think a separate switch in an extension panel is the right idea if you are not getting a whole new panel with more capacity.

The comments about the sub panel are spot on. Take your time. You can do a nice job. Picture of mine attached. Very happy with it.
I think there is so much experience on the board if you start a projects page and post your questions you'll get good advice.
As always, that's a beautiful job, John!
