This not only gives you more space for apps, but makes recovering from crashes easier. Maemo can crash, corrupt some service and then endlessly reboot. If this happens, you can boot into the 256meg partition(secondary OS), mount the larger partition(primary OS), turn on syslogd (make sure this is installed but disabled) and reboot to primary OS. After it fails, boot back into secondary OS, read the log on primary OS partition and fix whatever broke. Then disable syslog and enjoy not needing to re-install.
