No. I think your wife cannot apply for ILR at a PEO, if she hasn't completed her qualifying period.

but i checked on flr (m) guidance, it said FLR M must not be used if you are applying extension of stay as a dependant of a work permit (who has temporary leave or has obtained ILR as a work permit holder, - the correct form is FLR(O).
