When I want to dual boot I use Windows to resize and create a partition before I start the install. That gives a clean partition to install into. Creating a new partition when all 4 are in use is not trivial.
Windows knows best how to work with itself. Using Windows to resize and create a partition works better than using a third party, ie Linux, partition manager. At least that has always been my experience. I don't remember his exact partition scheme but I would resize the 400+ partition into two and use half for Opensuse. Windows will still have what it wants and the recover partition is intact if it's ever needed for Windows. Conversely, use Windows to create a recovery set of DVD's and delete the recovery partition. Then use Windows to repartition the drive using the free space created and part of the main Windows partition. The down side of this is that if you ever have to use the recovery set you will lose Opensuse. My best solution is to buy a 1T drive, clone Windows to it and then do the above.
