I think it should be other way around: swap partition big enough to
hibernate, i.e. the size of RAM, and a dynamnically sized swap
file if more swap space is needed for non-hibernation data.
You're right, that seems like a cool way to do it---a sparse
/thin-provisioned file that's recreated on every boot.
