I do not think you can.  To reduce the number of partitions you
would have to back up the files to floppy then repartition the
Focus drive using the FocusFormatter.  Delete a few partitions
and enlarge one or two of the remaining ones to fill the space.
Then format the enlarged partitions using the HFS file system
which supports up to 2GB partition sizes.

However, I would not recommend doing this until you spend
a few months exploring System 6.0.1 and knowing all its
quirks.  It is quite a bit different from System 4.0.  You should
also be aware that the Focus drive requires a driver of its own
in the Drivers folder.  Without it, you'll only see two of your
partitions and the drive will turn almost as sluggish as a
floppy.

So, best to leave the drive the way it is for the time being.
