No. A disk image copies a partition's contents, bit-for-bit, to the partition you are using, so if you are using a 40GB partition and are making a disk image of a separate 200GB partition inside of it, you are going to run out of room before the copy is complete.

To those who are viewing this question and have expertise in partition access/mounting, please improve this answer by providing a different method of accessing/sharing data between partitions.
