kindle touch partition within a partition?

I saw these messages in my touch logs (captured output) while poking around in diags:
Code:
Disk /dev/mmcblk0p4: 105536 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Old situation:
Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot    Start       End   #sectors  Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p4p1            16   6754303    6754288   b  W95 FAT32
/dev/mmcblk0p4p2             0         -          0   0  Empty
/dev/mmcblk0p4p3             0         -          0   0  Empty
/dev/mmcblk0p4p4             0         -          0   0  Empty
New situation:
Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot    Start       End   #sectors  Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p4p1            16   6754303    6754288   b  W95 FAT32
/dev/mmcblk0p4p2             0         -          0   0  Empty
/dev/mmcblk0p4p3             0         -          0   0  Empty
/dev/mmcblk0p4p4             0         -          0   0  Empty
Successfully wrote the new partition table

Re-reading the partition table ...
Perhaps that explains why we need to mount mmcblk0p4 with offset=8192, except for the fact that those devices do not *actually* exist. I wonder if we can resize those partitions inside the mmcblk0p4 partition...
