No, there's no partial root filesystem images generated at all. When
the rootfs size is too big some targets become unbuildable (no image
is generated at all; there may be an old one still present in the bin
directory, but that's another question). But even though some targets
can't be built that doesn't mean the other (that came later in the
Makefile) shouldn't get built also (as some of them might have enough
flash to accomodate a bigger image).

That's how ar71xx works too.
