I also ran yesterday into the same problem while creating an Install USB image for device with 2GB drive.
One place to fix this is defaults.cfg file as Praj wrote, but also the MIC script platforms/common-apt/install.sh could be fixed the way it will stop and give the error message "Disk is too small to create boot, main/data, swap and fat32 partitions" in case when sum of boot_partition_size, swap__partition_size, and fat32_partition_size greater then the disk size.

You can customize the boot partition and other partition size. To do this create a file ~/.image-creator/image-creator.cfg and use /usr/share/pdk/default_config/defaults.cfg as a template.
