Before you do:
1.Download and install Free MiniTool Partition Wizard.
2.Connect SD card to PC. (maybe a previous data backup is necessary)
3.Run MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Launch Partition Wizard to the main interface and then your SD card is displaying there. (In my case, it is a 4GB SD card.) Right-click on it and choose "Delete", then click "Apply" to make it an unallocated space for further use.

Step 2: Follow the sequence in the picture to create a new partition on SD card. Please specify the parameters of SD partition (partition label, drive letter, file system, partition size…) on your demands.

Step 3: If you are increasing the internal storage space of Android, you can continue creating a second partition. After you hit the "Apply" button, all is done.

Note:

Please note that Windows can only recognize the first partition on a removable disk, thus the second partition has no drive letter.
