I'm not absolutely sure you can. My first comment wasn't about resizing in particular but was in response to the statement about partitioning with voiceover being useless (not exact quote). I do know that one can partition with disk utility doing vo because I've done that many times. My second comment was trying to emphasize that if you are trying to write in the sizes and disk utility doesn't accept your sizes, it means you are not probaby getting sizes exact enough for disk utility to process as valid at least in the sizer. I'm thinking you may either have to find a way to get them more exact or find a way to drag that resizing control which is apparently how it is supposed to work at least for the sighted user. I would like to do some experimenting with it but I can't right now because I don't want to accidentally resize one of my partitions but I do plan to work on this in the future.
