That looks good for a 3gig/2gig partition size.
This is the one I use for a 3gig/1.5gig RAQ4r

 # This is the partition table for the product
%begin Partition_Table
0,3000,fd
,158,5
,1500,fd
,,fd
,30,83
,,fd
%end Partition_Table

I don't see any difference (apart from the sizes).

I have used this reconfigured script many times on RAQ4r restores without
problem on drives up to 40Gb.
