In the past I have had problems when booting from a usb created with live-usb-creator in the non-destructive mode when booting on uefi mode, Does livecd-iso-to disk usbs works on uefi mode?

For the purpose of creating an usb bootable in uefi mode I always use dd, and yes the remaining space ends unusable.

If dd copied from the first byte to the x-byte on the thumb drive then partitioning the drive should be doable.  Start the partition after the data. fdisk or gparted should handle it easy enough. Though I have not had issues as you have had and usually create a two partition thumb drive the first being the iso drive.
