You do not need to mess it up, unless you are actually using all 2TB
of the disk. Use gparted to shrink the existing partitions as required.

It looks like it support swapfiles. I still don't think a
sparse file
backing a loop device as a swap device will work for suspend
to disk,
but it may just be a matter of creativity. If this is a laptop
I think
you're better off with swap on the internal drive and just
make up the
space you've lost some other way. If you ever have to grab it
and go
you don't want an object attached that can get caught on
something and
snapped off. If the laptop has an optical drive, remove it and
put in
a hard drive to supplement the SSD.
The nand flash sinks completely into the multi-flash
reader/writer, nothing to protrude. So I think this
is a good solution for my situation. I really do not
want to back up 2TB drive, repartition it to create
a 16GB swap partition and restore the rest.
Too gosh darned time consuming.
Yes, I knew about what gparted can do. I had tried it
on a 1tb drive, and it still took at least 2 hours.
Maybe there was an issue with the sata internal bus???
