Notice that resupply availability dates suggested by me are based on refitting operations that actually took place an that I was aware of. It is possible that their timespan, as planned by BdU, was longer.
If you have more/better data than me, please feel free to complete and/or correct my information. Hopefully, Trevally will be able to implement your corrections with few tweaks, where possible. 
On a side note, resupply operations are part of a larger project regarding special U-boat operations. Data collected so far:
Planned:
- Weather report duties
- Weather stations installment missions
- Spy/saboteurs dropping missions
- Reckon missions
- Detailed Axis/Allied orders of battle for several naval operations involving U-boats' partecipation, including Operation Weserübung (Operationsbefehl Hartmut), Operation Rheinübung (battle of Denmark Strait and Sinking of the Bismark), Operation Wunderland, Operation Rösselsprung, etc.

It looks like you already have an excellent start on resupply and special operations. Last night, I started typing a chart that includes the patrols, areas of operation (Kriegsmarine grid squares), and U-boats supplied for all Type XIVs and Type VIIFs. This morning, I realized that this information is all available on uboat.net, so maybe it wouldn't be very useful.
In the meantime, I spent the last several hours compiling a list of all the U-boat "special operations" I could find. You will find date, U-boat(s) involved, and type of operation. I'm sorry for the poor format. I really didn't realize the project would become as large as it did. Here's the link:
