I’m not coming up with a lot of useful (clear) results when searching for a solution to this issue.
Is it OK to simply dd the 128GB disk to the 32GB disk using count to stop after the 16GB partition was cloned?
A bit more context: I had to clone a 16GB eMMC and only had a 128GB SD around. Now I purchased a 32GB eMMC and want to clone it again. The partition holds a root filesystem for an ARMv8 device. I don’t have the 16GB eMMC anymore, that would have been the easy way out.
Could be - just try it ig. And even if not, just create a new partition on the 32 GB disk and then dd it over.

If it’s normal files, yeah. If the partition is complicated to replicate, or encrypted etc., then just dd’ing the partition would be easier
