I have a 2017 model of Macbook Pro 13-inch with 8 Gigs of RAM. I want to have some "extra" memory by using swap, because I want to create some virtual machines that need lots of memory. I have read that swap file in macOS is only 1 GB. Can I extend the swap file as much as I want ?

The Swapfiles under /private/var/vm are system managed.
