What I mean:

I would not do it. SUSE installer/partitioner does not support multi-device btrfs at all, and I am not sure whether grub will also handle it correctly. Extend partition and resize filesystem.
the two partitions are not contiguous, so I can't expand the root partition physically
Then reorder all the partitions... dd the intermediate partition to another disk, etc. Or, create an LVM space on those two partitions, and create a single btrfs volume on it, if you are happy with LVM - I am not, so I would go the first route. There were tools that could move partitions. Partition Magic for Windows did, with some support for Linux.
