parted and raid 10

As supplied by dell, the system has a single / ext3 filesystem
of 136 GB (RHEL 3, update 2, x86_64).  It is the last fdisk
logical partition, sda6, on a hardware raid 10 (4 drives).

I've not used parted.

Is it feasible/safe to use parted to shrink the fs and partition
(about 40 GB of data in the 136GB space) then create several
new partitions and fs's?
