Partitions that you format as ProDOS are limited to 32 MB, but if you have a bigger HD you can create an HFS partition to make use of any remaining space.  I've done that with a 256 MB CF card for use with the original CFFA card, creating four 32 MB ProDOS partitions and one HFS volume.  I seem to recall seeing that some software won't necessarily run properly if installed on the HFS volume, but otherwise it's perfectly usable.
