Ok, first.. I'm assuming you want to keep your SUSE install? I've never installed dual linux distros on a system before, but I would think that one distro wouldn't care that there were other swap files on it.... I'm assuming you had plenty of unpartitioned space on your drive right? I usually use Partition magic to resize other partitions when I dual boot, leaving at least 2gb of unpartitioned space for Linux.
If it will not allow you to create a second swap partition, I don't think it will destroy your SUSE installation. It'll wipe out the swap file in it, but that'll just get recreated when you reboot into SUSE. Unless someone on here says otherwise I'm fairly certain that nothing should happen by doing that..... anyone??? Hey.. one thing.. you are using CUSTOM INSTALL for your Redhat install correct? if you are using any other install other than custom it WILL wipe out your other partitions...
