Have you tried using virt-resize yet?  That may have all the 
functionality you need for resizing partitions; although I'm not sure if 
it can completely remove a partition.  If it can, then you'd use 
original->copy1 to remove the e: partition, and original->copy2 to 
remove the c: partition, leaving you with two files for the two 
partitions with sizes of your choice.
