The kickstart options page that I use for reference is 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-kickstart2-options.html

I'm not familiar with a kickstart directive that will shrink a windows 
partition and then lay out appropriate linux partitions in the freed up 
space.  There might be something that can be done in %pre to shrink a 
windows partition, but generally it would be a better idea to have the 
windows partition pre-shrunk before installing linux.

The remaining items can be done in %post with scripts.
