I don't like what B&N is doing with this partitioning either, but let me explain it. You start out with 32 GB. All the system files use up maybe 4 GB. That leaves you 28 GB space. B&N wants to hog all that 28 GB for their own books. They set aside a maximum of 5 GB that is this special area for sideloading over UMS. If you don't use this area it doesn't eat any of your 28 GB. Any installed apps come out of the general 28 GB.
So, if we look at at types of users: Solid B&N types will just load lots of bought B&N books in the 28 GB and not touch the 5 GB. People who lightly sideload will probably never run into the 5 GB limit. Power users should not be using UMS or else they should switch the backing file so that it's on the whole /sdcard and not /sdcard/spsd.
The reason I brought this up was to see if people actually have a problem and to help them find a way forward.
Do people actually use UMS? (That's when it says: "Your Nook is connected over USB and you can't do a single thing with it now")
Obviously if you want to solder in 128 GB micro SD cards into your device that's a whole different subject, but we've got all sorts here.
