This volume can not be split because the result...

So as the subject says, I am running into an issue with disk utility on macOS Sierra. As you can see from the image, I am unable to partition a large section of my flash drive. For some reason disk utility thinks that partitioning 5.42GB of space would result in too small of partitions while it has no problem with partitioning a 2.24GB section. I am able to partition the drive anyway I like using terminal but find it much more convenient to use the gui. Any ideas would help. Also it is not just this drive that has the issue, but most including external USB hard drives.

I had the same problem with a single partition. I was unable to split it at all.

I was able to split the drive into multiple partitions like this in the terminal:

sudo diskutil partitionDisk /dev/diskN GPT ExFAT partition1name 200G JHFS+ partition2name 2T JHFS+ partition3name 2G

This created 3 partitions, the first ExFat of 200GB, the second is the default MacOS HFS+ journaled 200GB, the third the same format filling the rest of the disk. The final 2G is required, but can be any size, it will be ignored and the disk will be filled with the last partition.

NOTE: You can find out which disk you want to format from the Disk Utility program, it will show you "Device: disk3" for example, then you substitute diskN for disk3 in the command above.

It looks like you're trying to create all 3 small partitions at once in Disk Utility.

Try doing them 1 at a time and make sure each new partition is a different label. It should work. It does for me. When I tried to do all 3 at once, I received an error and it created one partition that was equal to the sum of the 3 small partitions.

In my case, I was trying to create 3 partitions on the disk. But my only option to start was to erase the whole disk, which automatically fills it with a single partition. I was unable to find any way of resizing that partition. Under all scenarios I tried, I got the same "This volume can not be split because the resulting volumes would be too small." I tried creating two patitions from the terminal but was still unable to make any new partitions.
