In your case you will have to use LVM to add the gained space to your root partition, this I've no experience of but I think you can use yast.
This is far from trivial. Needs backup, repartition, format, recover from backup, reinstall grub.
Which is, anyway, what I would do, but without LVM.
There were tools in Windows that could move partitions around, but I'm unsure in Linux. I think there was one, but I never tried. It is possible to grow a partition, at the end of it.
The only possibility without moving things is to add a /usr or /usr/something partition. And I would not do that. I would go the backup, repartition, restore route.
You can only shrink an ntfs gpt partition using windows 7 and up. Your idea of copying /usr to the new partition and mounting it separately sounds good. Shrinking a windows partition in windows is easy even in virtual box with reduced ram.
