Your first part is correct. You can dd a smaller partition onto an

Are you sure you can dd onto (or rather into) a larger partition?
I tried that some years ago, and it led to confusion, IIRC.
Yes you can. You end up with slack space at the end of the partition.
In other words if you dd a 10 gig drive onto a 30 gig drive, you will
have what appears to be a 10 gig drive. The remaining 20 gigs will be
unused.
I understand the theory.
But in my (very limited) experience, the conflicting information
on the system may cause confusion.
What for example does fdisk say?
The MBR presumably will think you have a 30 gig drive.
