This is difficult if you configure a big swap partition. Sure, you can
delete the swap partition and create a smaller one, but that leaves
you with a chunk of free disk space. All you can do with this without
repartitioning the whole disk is to create another small filesystem
partition in it, which isn't much use.
A swap file is much more flexible, but most people prefer a partition
because there's less overhead.
