Can I use a drive larger than 4Gb if I make the partions smaller than 2gb ?


No. The 4GB limit is an issue of the drive, not of partitons. You can create partitions above the 4GB border, but if you write to them, the position which is actually accessed will be wrapped down to below 4GB destroying data on other partitions. So don't even try it.
