I'm a little late on this one, but incase anyone wants to do a multiple partition USB stick install with DSL...
1) Install DSL to the USB stick as you normally would.
this will erase the entire drive space and set up one big partition (SDA1)
2) once you are satisfied that it is working that way, boots up etc...
Use another Linux machine(B) with the parted program installed
on it, to modify the drive. Plug your usb drive into machine B, let it recognize
the drive, but make sure it is not mounted, or unmount it if it automounts.
3) Run parted and resize the partition to the size you want the bootable
DSL partition to be. ( I set mine to 100Megs) . Then create a second partition
of type fat16 using the rest of the drive. Write the changes and exit
4) assuming the new partition is sda2, you will need to format it
mkfs.vfat /dev/sda2
And you are done. 2 partitions. (On Windows XP, I can actually see both partitions)
Here is some parted help:
