I wonder what it would take to make the partition with the live image
the second partition (second entry in the partition table, first on the
disk).
That said, the size of the disk is calculated as:
DU_DIM="$(du -ms binary | cut -f1)"
REAL_DIM="$(Calculate_partition_size ${DU_DIM} ${LH_BINARY_FILESYSTEM})"
dd if=/dev/zero of=chroot/binary.img bs=1024k count=0 seek=${REAL_DIM}

Maybe add an extra variable, LH_USB_MIN_PART_SIZE (which would be
user-configurable, and defaults to 0), and then use:
DU_DIM="$(du -ms binary | cut -f1)"
REAL_DIM="$(Calculate_partition_size ${DU_DIM} ${LH_BINARY_FILESYSTEM})"
if [ ${REAL_DIM} -lt ${LH_USB_MIN_PART_SIZE} ]
then
REAL_DIM=${LH_USB_MIN_PART_SIZE}
fi
dd if=/dev/zero of=chroot/binary.img bs=1024k count=0 seek=${REAL_DIM}
(or fix similarly in Calculate_partition_size)
