I've done this, or versions of it, numerous times, and as long as you
are careful not to mess with the other partitions by mistyping numbers
it works just fine. (It's how I made the partitions I'm planning to move
YDL to, for example, and OS X still works fine with no data loss.)

I'm afraid I can't help with sizes, though.
