Looking at my Pi the card has two partitions. One is ext4 and is mounted
on /

The other is on /boot, type vfat

Now, as I understand it, the PI has no boot sector, so all you need to
do is partition a raw card with anbout 44M as VFAT, and the rest as ext 4.

Then copy your existing files from one to the other.

You will need to patch the /etc/fstab on the new card to reflect the
blockids of the new partitions

Or make the new  partition UUIDS the same as the old SD card

Linux command blkid is your friend here.
