Don't know what parted would make of that; it doesn't understand about
'f0' partitions, so may not let you try to resize them.  You could
probably use parted to make enough space for a bigger one, then use
fdisk to actually create it.  you could use parted to create it, but
parted wont let you set the type to 'f0'.
