Take the original advice, get the stress out and book the 4+ hour connection, then relax, get a massage followed by a shower, and something to eat. Then head for the PG lounge. The time will pass reasonably quickly.
Its worth a query at the transfer desk but it's unlikely they'll be able to put through any payment transactions. It's possible you could change over the phone, that would depend upon when phone agents lose access to flights. Barring that it, as
jiejie says, it's just not worth the rush.
If you would prefer to go through the wringer in order to get to REP a few hours earlier be aware that PG closes checkin for Int flights at T-40min.
One final tip: There's no C on the A320 and generally PG premier are put into the forward 4 rows, however I would suggest you sit as close to the front as you possibly can in case there's a backup at REP immy. I've seen waits upwards of an hour to get a visa.
