You may be able
to do that with cloud-init custom-script section,
The following link will show you how to add a file to the client, you may write a code
that change the partition table, you need to make the file executable and put
it in a init section (such as /etc/init.d sections), the only problem is that
it may be too late since cloud-init may be loaded after that phase... (so
maybe other place...)

Another option is to set a command under this section:
