I did this: on a 8 gig card.
7. Partition SD card.
sudo gainroot umount /media/mmc2
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0 -uM
mmcblk0p1: 0,5100,0C
mmcblk0p2: ,,,
mmcblk0p3:
mmcblk0p4:

(If it matters, it might have been penguinbait's deb).

Now, how do I get it back to one big 'dos' (fat32?) partition? I've tried a few options that I thought would be obvious, like ,,0c 0,max,0c (max determined by entering 999999 value) and using windows formatter through an SDHC card reader. Any other ideas?

There are many ways to do it. I did this way and it works. Under window, use panasonic low level formatter, on option, choose anything but 'quick' (eraser on, eraser off, etc does NOT matter), let it crank for a few minutes and that is it.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but here's how I undid it. In windows, go to run, and enter compmgmt.msc. Then choose Disk Management. Find card and right click and remove partition. Then disconnect tablet from computer, and use file manager to reformat card.

Obviously this will erase card. If you're looking for something that won't erase, don't do it this way!
