Can we apply for H1 visa extension when the PERM application is pending?

My 6 years of H1 time is coming to an end in March 2018, I have used even the time spent outside US. My PERM application was filed on 1st week of Jan 2018. Now my question is can we apply for H1 extension when the PERM application is in process? If the PERM application is in pending status even after my H1 end date what should I be doing 
1) Leave the country and wait for PERM & I-140 to be approved and then go for stamping and re-enter on H1? 
2) Stay in US and apply for H1 to H4 transfer and wait for the PERM & I-140 to be approved and then the employer filing for H4 to H1 again? If I file for H1 to H4 transfer immediately will my H1 he stopped as soon as I receive the H4 receipt number or will keep continuing until the H4 is approved? 
3) Leave US and come back on H4 and wait for the PERM to be approved? After the PERM is approved should my employer file I140 based on future employment? Also should they be applying for H4 to H1 along with I140?

Thank you!
