I noticed that the image generator for the Gemini generates some 10+ MB files for the second (application) partition. This is just wrong. The first 6144K partition named initramfs easily fits OpenWRTs squashfs,jffs2 overlayed partitions with nice headroom for storing configuration files. Generate a blank partition for the hddapp.tgz file and delete it after generating the firmware image - when performing updates manually you just want the "rd.z" file around anyways.
