Just wondering about a simplistic solution:  Partition the card, the
original one, so that you don't use the whole card, by default.  Then,
when you clone the working partition of your template card, it's always
going to be a bit smaller than your target copies.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
