A non-working extension of your visa is allowed for 30 days for the purposes of finalizing your affairs or tourism.
If you need longer than that, talk to an immigration office. You may be able to change your status to "G" for the necessary 5 weeks.
An alternative is to pop outside the country and return on a tourist visa (or visa waiver entry stamp if your country of origin qualifies for one). This would give you 90 days while you are waiting for immigration.
