Installing asusware to jffs - Resize jffs partition?

[Grump]

Is it possible to resize the jffs partition? I recall reading it could support 90MB but it's only set to 32MB. I didn't want to dedicate a USB stick to asusware because I only wanted a couple of packages (and I'm stubborn.) 64MB instead of 32MB would really add some breathing room.

How to install asusware to /jffs for those wondering...
This is on an RT-AC66U, it might be different for other models...

nvram set apps_dev="mtdblock5" # check "mount" for jffs mount
/usr/sbin/app_base_packages.sh
ipkg update # ignore asus 404 errors
ln -s /jffs/asusware /tmp/opt

Setup /opt on reboot
ipkg install nano
nano /jffs/scripts/services-start (or vi if you want)

#!/bin/sh

ln -s /jffs/asusware /tmp/opt

Resizing JFFS would require you to modify the kernel code, and recompiling the firmware.
