Here's the official response from Kris at Technologic:

We used fdisk to initially create partition, the partition sizes do not match 
up correctly because they are aligned on 2Kbyte boundaries as opposed to the 
standard 512 byte boundaries.  This is done so that the images may be easily 
transferred to NAND flash which has 2Kbyte sectors (the TS-7350/70/90 all use 
the same image, but only the TS-7390 has built in NAND flash as well).  You 
should have no issues in resizing the partitions as long as you keep their 
partition type the same.  Gparted should also be able to do it, you can ignore 
the non-standard size errors as this is a result of the 2Kbyte sector size.
