I would personally not even try. The Italian authorities have in the past extended my identity documents with handwritten notes, stamped and signed, and it has always been an issue in the airports, always at the police checks, and in UK also at the check-ins (at add insult to injury, once we got delayed at an Italian seaport because an Italian border guard was fussy about a friend's document extended this way from an Italian authority, go figure). People invariably look first at the printed expiration date, and look suspiciously to the handwritten extension. I wouldn't expect them to let anyone depart with a properly expired document.
That said, couldn't your wife visit her consulate, and get, if not a proper id, an emergency travel document (in Spanish should be something like "
documento provisional de viaje")?
