1. In principal, yes you could resize the partitions, however....
a) Using parted/Gparted tends to change the Disk Identifier, which affects the partuuids. As long as you remember what it was before and restore it afterwards (with e.g. fdisk), then this can be worked around.
b) Reducing the boot partition sdc6 may cause future problems upgrading the OS, as it often needs some spare space to update (depending on the OS). It is better to resize a rootfs where there is usually more spare space.
c) After resizing and shuffling the logical partitions, you also need to resize the extended partition SDC2 which covers all the logical partitions, before resizing SDC1
d) Always do a backup before attempting any re-partitioning to guard against data loss.
2, The colour gradient square is part of the firmware as a test pattern. The red corner changes to magenta on the secondary display. I think it can be turned off with a config.txt setting. SSH is enabled later once PINN starts.
