  Yes.  If you've never installed anything to those additional
partitions, nothing should care about them.

  (Disk management tools in NT/2K (and so probably XP) may modify
partitions that you never use, but they always check before assuming
that that has been done, so it's safe to destroy and recreate them as
many times as you want.)
