Well, you did what I did.  Whether that's right is another issue.  ;)

I like to set the min and max size to the same thing so, if heavy 
swapping starts, the swapfile doesn't consume time in resizing (there's 
also fragmentation issues at work, too).  The big question is whether a 
swapfile that large is required - doesn't hurt except for disk space but 
may not be needed.  You can test it out by using a set size (1GB?) and 
running your apps.  Watch to see how much swap is in use or if you run 
out of memory (you'll get an error or a crash of the app if you do). 
Since you seem to be a light user, I doubt the extra swap is needed but 
it's there if you ever do suddenly need it.  I might be more likely to 
just let the system control the size in your case but that's your decision.
