Creating a second BootCamp Windows partition

Can we make a second Windows partition ?

I already have one Windows XP partition that I use for Office and several games (like IL-2).

I would like to add a large game (Strangehold) but I don't have enough room to add it, so I would like to duplicate the Windows partition, empty it, and put my new game. But BootCamp doesn't help.

Any idea how I can do that ?

You may be able to do it with this, as adding a third partition (i.e. not expanding the current).

I'm using a FAT partition on an external drive to hold my Windows games. IIRC, I formatted the partition as FAT from OS X, which can make a bigger FAT partition than Windows XP can.
