TLDR : Answer Summary
When a passport is renewed while overseas, the reentry permit and NON-B visa in the old passport remain valid. To reenter Thailand, it's necessary to present both passports: the old one containing the visa and reentry permit, and the new one. Upon returning to Thailand, one can apply at the immigration office to transfer the validity from the old passport to the new one, while ensuring that the pages with valid permits are not voided.

I believe that the OP has the answers needed for his question.

And you need tell them not to void the pages with valid permit on..
I've never had a re-entry permit stamped in before and don't see how snipping the corners off my old passport will have any bearing on it. Thanks and I'll mention it to them when the time comes 🤔

Yes, you can.
You have to enter Thailand with both passports (show the original visa/extension and re-entry permit on the old passport and get a stamp on the new passport).
Once back in Thailand, you go to the immigration office that issued your stamp(s) to apply for transfer.
