Second question first: to place a comment after the position/symbol
information, put a space between the comment and the symbol code to
ensure no misinterpretations.  For that matter, placing a space
between the comment and the 7 character extension if it exists is a
good idea, as well.

The range extension is 7 characters which must immediately follow the
symbol code.  It is RNGrrrr where rrrr = range in miles.  So, for
your item, the information field would be

)145-130!3618.63N/07700.33WmRNG0055

Hope this helps.
