Make a backup of all partitions on the device and repartition. You
better make a backup anyway, so there's not much point in trying to join
two file systems. You can delete sda6 and sda7 and create a
new partition, so you don't need to redo the other partitions on the
device.
If you don't want to repartition, you could create a RAID-0 from the
partitions or use LVM to a similar effect. You might get away without
making backups of the *other* partitions then. Needless to say, it's
always a good idea to have working, recent backups around ...
