You cannot included your spouse on your Set (O) form.
If she does not extend her current visa, she can apply for FLR(M) which is a spouse settlement visa (or as you incorrectly call it an ILR Dep visa). This will reset her clock and she will have to wait a further 5 years on FLR(M) - 2 X 2.5 year visas - before she will qualify for ILR. She cannot combine her time spent as PBS Dep to this new 5 year requirement. Fees for spouse visa go up by 25% in April.
You have to pay the immigration health surcharge for both PBS Dependent and FLR(M).
