You could use bootit-ng's (ask google) partition editing tools (don't know 
wether parted would do the job also), to move sda3 right behind sda1, then 
close the new gap by moving sda4 also. Not sure, but I think this would 
also rename the devices (sda3 -> sda2, sda4 -> sda3).

You can then grow sda4 to whatever you need.

Famous last words: Although I never had problems with bootit-ng, remember to 
backup your stuff before you start.
