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?

Are you sure, when I got invalid argument in the first line.
I tried:
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1p2 << EOF
,1900,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF
and got: BLKRRPART: invalid argument
OK
Warning: start=7168000 - this looks like a partition rather than
the entire disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaningless.
[use the --force option if you really want this]

When I do:
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,3500,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF
and then:
sfdisk -l
I see the table, it list:
mmcblk1p1 as a W95 FAT32 (LBA) 3583999+
mmcblk1p2 as LINUX 4177920
mmcblk1p3 Empty
mmcblk1p4 Empty
So I assume that works and simply sets partition 1 as close as possible to 3.5gb. Leaving the rest as partition 2.
How do I partition (split) p2 to give me p3 remaining?
or can I just set p3? I don't know how..

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,3778,C
,1900,L
,2500,83
EOF
creates 3 partitions, but they don't have a proper filesystems for some reason. oO
This can be fixed by manually reformating each one
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 #first one into fat32
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2 #second one into ext3 (android)
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p3 #for easy debian . also ext3
you can copy-paste with comments, it will just ignore them

sorry mate, didn't work.
BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy
This disk is currently in use - repartitioning is probably a bad idea.
Unmount all file systems, and swapoff all swap partitions on this disk.
Use the --no-reread flag to suppress this check.
use the --force flag to overrule all checks.
Didn't look good though continued anyway.
/dev/mmcblkp1: No such file or directory.
BUGGERRRRRRR
