The advantages of doing so is that you'll be able to access via Windows and USB your VFAT partition. There you'll find the Swap file of 64MB.
The disadvantage is that the swap file on the vfat is/probably limited by the UI, which has the ceiling of 128MB for N800 and 64MB for 770. And I'm not sure how the swap file is handle, but I have no way to check how much was used and how much is left.
