This is why I am thinking of using only Micro SD swap but two of them. I do plan to reduce the wear on the N900's flash in doing this.

If there both on the SD, I only have to switch between the swaps (swap2 on, swap1 off) compared to a full reswap (swap2 on, swap1 off, swap1 on then swap2 off).

On my 64Gb card I am thinking 2x 800Mb swap spaces, 5Gb Document partition and whatever's left for a Music partition.

Can anybody see any issues I may come across with this?

With music on the card I am hoping for smooth multi tasking while playing music under heavy load.
