With such a crappy layout, it would be hard to do something. It uses "linux extended partition". Funny thing about it, it grabs the range of the other (and active) MBR partition (FAT16). Why? Then this is overlapping partitions by this funny design. Since an active (bootable) FAT partition must have its own entry in MBR. And linux extended partition must have its own MBR entry. But the latter claims its beginning is at LBA 1. This means it overlaps with FAT16 partition. That's crap.
If you just want to extend the last partition (FAT32) to the end of the disk, or create yet another partition in the free space there, then there should not be any overlapping. If it complains about the overlapping I mentioned, then congratulations - linux disk utility cannot deal with the quirks of its own system, since it sees overlapping between FAT16 partition and linux extended partition.
