Why? You have already got Rednand which supports 2TB card for system storage.

Well, let's say someone made their original rednand on a 16 gb SD card. Said someone then upgraded to a 128 gb SD card. They don't want to loose all of their data so they copied over the partitions. But they can't extend it since it's unrecognizable by windows or Linux or whatever os they use. So they made another partition for this plug-in but it doesn't work.

The preferred way to do this, would be to setup a new redNAND with the desired size and then copy the data over. Either by connecting the old SD through an USB adapter and using the USB partition plugin or simply by coping it to a USB device from the old redNAND first.

The plugin was never designed to work with redNAND and the criteria by which the redNAND and USB partition is selected is almost the same.
Minute selects the last by entry in the mbr NTFS partition. The SDUSB plugin selects the last by lba NTFS partition. You could change that in the code and compile it yourself.
But since these criteria are slightly different there is in theory a way to do it with the right partition layout (but I never tested it):
The FAT32 needs to be the first partition as always, then the second partition in the MBR needs to be the USB partition. But this partition needs to be the last one physically (so moved all the way to the right) and then the third partition needs to be the MLC one, which needs to come before the USB one physically.
