So, if you had a directory with files that use over half the partition space and moved those to a new directory, then du for the 2 directories would total more than the partition size?
Not quite. The size of the directory being reported is referring to the size of the directory entry (the filename to inode mapping) and not the cumulative total of the files under said directory. The directory size is never going to get over a couple of megabytes.
