I have the same view as linkers. I think the caseworker should apply discretion and grant ILR for your wife, if the gap is just 4 days.
If you call HO, they will always advise to go for Tier1 extension first, because as per rule the dependant has not completed 2 years.
I would suggest you to take ILR appointment at Solihul within 28 days of the expiry and try. If it does not work then you can apply for Tier1 extension. I am suggesting Solihul because they take the payment only after it is ensured that your ILR application is approved.
