I figured out the math to expand the shawl! Charting the pattern out in Stitchmastery was exactly what I needed for things to click.
Essentially, I will repeat the third and fourth stockinette sections (with the garter bands between them). I will need to add repeats of the lace stitches as the number of stitches increase. Each repeat of the stockinette sections will increase the lace panel by one per half of the shawl. For example, the second time I knit the third and fourth stockinette sections, I will have four lace segments on each half of the shawl. Then on the third time I knit the stockinette sections, I will have five lace segments on each half of the shawl, and so on. This disregards the lace segment that runs up the spine of the shawl.
I will have to break out my scale and weigh the remaining skein after each of these segments so that I don't end up playing yarn chicken. Currently, I have 77.5 grams remaining, at the end of the first fourth stockinette section.
