Would be nice if you could load new chunks all around the map and make them all ocean biomes. That's the only solution I can think of. :/

if you guys are alright with it being offline for about 3-4 days i can force render the world out to about 50,000 by 50,000 . this could be seen as a solution, though you would have to travel quite far to get new blocks . 

 

also to tone not much is needed to run minecraft, my laptop can still run it good enough. old core duo and an x1600 from 06. (though it does warn me my days are numbered do to lack of opengl 4.2)

I think that's the best option. It's unfortunate that you'll have to travel so far to get to new land but an efficient portal system can ease the pain quite a bit. Too bad it's impossible to manually decide what biomes should be added. And theoretically I guess you could create a new ocean world in 1.7.2 and then edit in the old world but that sounds a bit complicated and I don't know if the new ocean biome is big enough anyway.
