   Glad you got it sorted.  One thing you can do, at the expense of a slightly   
   non-standard setup, is to keep your /boot partition on the eMMC, and set   
   config.txt to use a root partition on your USB.  So most of your OS   
   lives on the USB and only the kernel, firmware and device trees live on the   
   eMMC.  That means you aren't limited by the eMMC size for your OS install.   
      
   To do this you flash the OS to your USB as well as the eMMC, then boot the   
   Pi from eMMC and alter:   
      
   root=/dev/mmcblk0p2   
      
   to   
      
   root=/dev/sda2   
      
   in config.txt.  You'll also need to amend /etc/fstab on the USB to match.
