Aligatro,
From what i understand, using xterm is done via sfdisk.
As advised by Dj Steve for NITDroid setup on SD card:
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,6100,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF
Gives you a 6.1gb partition and the other is remainder.

You can probably manually edit the partition table dump and put it back.
sfdisk -d /dev/mmcblk1 > partition.table.dump
and the do cat partition.table.dump
it should give you something like
# partition table of /dev/mmcblk1
unit: sectors
/dev/mmcblk1 : start= 0, size= 8388608, Id= 0
and you can add partitions to it here is for example my partition table of ssd
# partition table of /dev/sda
unit: sectors
/dev/sda1 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
/dev/sda2 : start= 63, size= 21012957, Id=83
/dev/sda3 : start= 21013020, size= 72196110, Id=83
/dev/sda4 : start= 93209130, size= 31824765, Id= 5
/dev/sda5 : start= 93209193, size= 31824702, Id= b
you can use http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/calculate/ tool to convert gb to kilobytes.

Download this: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
burn it to cd/dvd or get http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ instead and let it install a cd image to a usb flash drive.
Alternatively, you can download vmware player , mount the iso from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php, attach n900 as flash drive and resize from inside virtual machine.

Thanks anyway mate but I think I will just wait for one of these guys to reply.
I am not very good with software and bound to hit further issues and hence ask further questions, just different or similar ones. Someone on here must have the smarts to use sfdisk and be able to give me the code.
Plenty of clever cookies on here.
Thank you for your time and effort though, much appreciated.

@coffee
you can just learn from djsteves work like if he wants to partition mmcblk1p1 and mmcblkp2, well u do that with p3 and p4 and tell me how it went!

Anyone?
Surely some of you clever guys can assist with using sfdisk to partition the SD card on the n900?

I don't really follow, sorry.
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
If correct? mmcblk1 is the SD card and the p1 is the partition 1?
So are you saying it would be something like this:
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,3500,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF
umount /dev/mmcblk1p2
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,1900,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF
and the 3rd partition would be the remaining?
