That's what I'm doing. But is it possible to increase the size for

Any good website showing how to do add space at multiple points in the
file system?
Put a filesystem on it (e.g. ext3), mount it under /mnt, cp -a or rsync
(or even use mc) everything under /usr, then unmount it from /mnt and
mount it as /usr. If it works, unmount it, change /etc/fstab, remove
everything under /usr and reboot.
Your main partition filesystem will now have additional free space
equivalanet to the size of /usr.
To add this space at multiple points in the filesystem:
* Use fdisk (or your favorite partitioner) to remove hda1
* Recreate hda1 as an extended partition
* Create as many logical partitions within the extended partition as you
need
* Mount these logical partitions wherever you need them in the filesystem
