Can you repartition in the xv6700?

Recently got another 6700 and updated it with the kitchen now running WM6. I see I can unlock the ext rom and delete those files. Then I have an extra 10mb of space to put stuff. I would love to have that extra space for program memory. Can you repartition the drive so that there is less ext rom and more space for program memory?

Nitro,
Since the extended rom is flash, not RAM, it's useful as Storage Memory only, not Program Memory.
To my thinking, the marginal benefit to be gained by merging the extended rom partition into the main/storage memory partition would just not be worth the trouble.

We don't know how to do it, either. If anyone figures it out, I'd love to know how.
