If you are already add/deleting in place using ajax you can use that to your advantage. Don't think of it as a single form - each ajax capable component (profile, extra1, extra2, extra3) is a separate form. You have a view that populates your template with multiple forms - the profile and each extra. Then each of those has an ajax endpoint for update/delete. You can also have and add extra button that has an endpoint that provided the form via ajax, and its save endpoint is the save/update endpoint you already have.
