Doesn't matter. The "partition type" is just a two-byte value in a partition table entry. It has nothing really to do with what the filesystem contains. So, type 83 will suit, just fine. Having created a partition table entry of the desired size in /sbin/fdisk or equivalent, now run mkreiserfs on it, to make the actual filesystem. Set the entry in /etc/fstab, accordingly. If your $DISTRIBUTION_OF_CHOICE lacks mkreiserfs, then it probably lacks the reiserfs utilities as a whole.
