I'm afraid ext2fs doesn't allow expanding the size of an existing
partition. What you could do is to format the new partition and may be
move your /var (or /usr) directory tree to the new one. (Copy the
existing /var partition to the new partition by mounting it as say
/mnt/var - then delete the /var partition, and make entries in fstab so
that the new partition is mounted as /var in the next reboot.)
