I have no idea if the tablet can be booted from the microSD or not. Using a FAT32 formatted USB stick the label should be USB. Just unzip the files to the root same as you did with the microSD already (or copy them from the microSD, should make no difference).

You also need a (powered) USB hub and USB keyboard&mouse.
Just press ESC while booting, select Boot Manager (here you need the mouse) and finally select the USB stick (with the keyboard, if I recall correctly).

Skim/read through this Onda thread, all the information you need should be mentioned along the way.

I don't know if it's the easiest but create a bootable Linux USB stick (Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc.), boot the tablet from it, start GParted and resize the tablet's partition... you'll need the USB hub + keyboard & mouse again.

You probably need to use dd or UNetbootin or similar to create a bootable USB from the ISO image. (I think there was even some USB creator program included if you boot the Linux Mint "LiveCD" on a PC)

So finally .. i managed it...

I downloaded following iso https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/

With AcetoneISO downloaded from Softwareshop under Linux Mint 18.3 on MacMini i decompressed the iso to the usb stick.

The i take my USB Hub and bootet from the Stick.
I used default settings.

After a while the Debian Desktop was shown.
So i expanded the Sailfish Partition to the maximum.
Now i had 24,7 GB free.

Which options have you used? Because I can't up the graphical session :/

Ok. To make the proper Gparted USB live bootable on Onda V820W is much better to follow the manual method to get the GUI up properly: https://gparted.org/liveusb.php#linux-method-b
