I was going to suggest long john pants, esp. as you are moving from 7mm to 5mm. Good point about putting a wetsuit on while on a kayak. I wouldn't bother with linings but you will need to use lube -- or soak the jacket in the sea (which will be cold of course). My SOT kayak, Ocean Kayak Malibu 2, is pretty stable, I reckon it would be okay. You should practise getting you suit on & off at least several times before trying it out at sea; it would be prudent to do it somewhere safe the first few times.
