So how do you increase the system partition size?

gparted

Just make sure you don't change the start position. That unpartitioned space at the start of the disk, is actually used for kernel and stuff like that. So gparted would show it as free space but it's not actually free space. So the start must remain unchanged, but you can grow in size no problem.

Well, I actually haven't tried it with gparted, since I know how to do this manually and prefer to do it that way. But there's no reason why it shouldn't work. The partition layout isn't hardcoded anywhere - only the partition numbers are and you're not changing those.

Make a full backup / image of the card beforehand in any case.
