Now that you've broke it, I'd like to suggest to learn
and refrain from using old fashioned partitioning. Instead,
I'd strongly suggest to use LVM instead. With LVM, it's
no problem at all to increase the size of filesystems.
Actually, the "proper" use of LVM includes that the filesystems
will be increased when there's need; with LVM, it's normally
suggested to make the filesystems as small as needed and
then add space on them, when required.

I'd suggest to read the LVM howto at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
