Umm no....
There is nothing in the empty space before the first partition.
This is quite evident if you open any img file with 7zip or similar.
In 7zip look for the Offset column.
In the case of kobo_clara_2e_sdcard_original_slim.img in 7zip.jpg attached the offset is ~25mb.
Additionally, the reason why moving partitions around doesn't work is because it only changes the partition boundaries.
It does not move the data inside the partition to the new relative location.
So moving them causes data loss within each moved/overlapped partition.

I stand corrected, see posts below...

Could you be more specific as to what you do see on the screen in each situation?
With the clean sd card route I detailed last...
Light comes on, starts to flash, screen remains black?
When you moved partitions around...
Light comes on, starts to flash, screen does what?
I tried deleting just the KOBOeReader partition and got a different screen...
Light comes on, starts to flash, black warning sign on screen.

The image I linked is the one that shipped with the 2E.
I made the image before ever turning it on.
The 2E from which I provided pictures of earlier had been updated to the latest version prior to my swapping cards.
From my trials, it doesnt seem to make a difference.
