Well. My guess seemed to be true again.
Here is the output of Linux's fdisk:
fdisk -l /dev/sdc
GPT PMBR size mismatch (4008112 != 30031871) will be corrected by write.
The backup GPT table is not on the end of the device. This problem will be
corrected by write.

You just dd-ed your iso image into /dev/sdc3 (don't know which Solaris name
it is,
to be fair!)
No way to expand or extend or modify this scheme! Since there is no writable
file
system to be expand or extend or modify at all!
Perhaps Linux's Gparted could do something with the partition table and
possibly
creating new partition.
But who care? The point is having an read/write area for OI on the usb
stick. And
it seemed unfeasible now.
OK I'm on one of my FreeBSD boxes. Assuming you're looking at creating a
modified
IO hipster GUI install (OI-hipster-gui-20201031.usb) and you want to expand
one of
the partitions. Which one? Here's what I've done so far:
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f OI-hipster-gui-20201031.usb -u 0
Now that I have the whole image loaded as a memory disk image (md(4)). Let's
see
what we have to work with:
# gpart show md0
=> 34 4008046 md0 GPT (1.9G)
34 222 - free - (111K)
256 69632 1 efi (34M)
69888 2048 2 !6a82cb45-1dd2-11b2-99a6-080020736631 (1.0M)
71936 3919759 3 !6a85cf4d-1dd2-11b2-99a6-080020736631 (1.9G)
3991695 1 - free - (512B)
3991696 16384 9 !6a945a3b-1dd2-11b2-99a6-080020736631 (8.0M)
# gpart show -l md0
=> 34 4008046 md0 GPT (1.9G)
34 222 - free - (111K)
256 69632 1 (null) (34M)
69888 2048 2 (null) (1.0M)
71936 3919759 3 (null) (1.9G)
3991695 1 - free - (512B)
3991696 16384 9 (null) (8.0M)
So. Which partition/slice do you want to grow, and how big?
Note: gpart show -l (-l means show LABEL if one exists). The column
with numbers refer to INDEXES. Which you can name to work with.
I'll cobble up an image for you. I just need your desired specs. :-)

Linux,
Gparted only display a bunch of black and very small partitions:
