Your problem stems from the requirement to delete the first partition, then 
resize backwards.  As far as I know there is no way to do that safely.  
Resizing upwards is relatively easy, but doesn't address your need.

Could you not reformat the vfat partition as ext3 instead, and use it as an 
additional data store?
