Yes. Like I posted before (and explained in the article I linked), if you
turn off the compatibility mode, you can push it down to 63.
Not recommended, though. Not only will you lose compatibility with Windows,
but also you'll only gain slightly less than 1MiB. And who knows in the
future something absofuckinlutely requires the first partition to begin at
sector 2048.
So, IMO, disabling the DOS compatibility gives one too small a gain that's
worth the (possible) headache in the future.
Rgds,
