There is also a 5gb Home partition image of maemo available on the interwebz (I am at work ATM so don't have the link to hand). I will require a reflash though :?

There is no gparted for windows!!!
The overall possibility to handle linux partitions from windows is crappy!
Do this http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning..._compatible.29

If you're willing to reflash all the way up to the eMMC, it takes literally a minute to edit your eMMC image with a hex editor, to get yourself an image that gives you up to 9GB of /home partition space. (Technically you can cram more, but 9216 is the highest 1-GB cut off you can get when your max number is 9999, so yeah. <--- this makes more sense if you actually read up on how to edit the eMMC image)

There's a bunch of methods in the wiki explaining how to partition it even without reflashing though. I just did this method because I was reflashing my N900 including the eMMC at the time.
