Try ``scratch_files``
https://manpages.debian.org/buster/e2fsprogs/e2fsck.conf.5.en.html
This stanza controls when e2fsck will attempt to use scratch files to
reduce the need for memory.

You can create swap on any free partition, see
https://manpages.debian.org/buster/util-linux/mkswap.8.en.html
https://manpages.debian.org/buster/mount/swapon.8.en.html

7TB seems like too much for one partition imho.
Consider splitting it into the parts
