Unlike most people here, I do not find the "dual-boot" feature particularly useful due to its buggyness and quirky configuration plus it made the available space for the /system partition divided, leaving only 600++ MB for each system1 and system2. This guide is using CWM v6.0.5.1 (R11) by furniel and donbo.

Prerequisites:
[LIST]
[*]CWM Recovery V6.0.5.1
[*]a Mi 3w (probably doable for the Mi 4 too)
[*]ADB drivers installed
[/LIST]

[COLOR="Blue"]Not necessary, but do back up system1 if you wish to conserve your current ROM and config.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Blue"]As parted cannot resize partitions, /system (system1) and /system1 (system2) partitions will have to be removed and re-created with the desired size, this is why backing up system1 is favourable.[/COLOR]

[LIST=1]
[*]Reboot to recovery and connect your phone
[*]Open a cmd window (or terminal, if you're using linux), and connect through adb by typing;
[CODE]adb devices
adb shell

[*]If everything is fine and you get a shell input (#), start parted by typing;

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
unit MB #to set storage unit as MB
print #shows partition table. do remember to screenshot this

[*]Output of "print" should be something like this

27 1745MB 2147MB 403MB ext4 cache
28 2147MB 15758MB 13610MB ext4 userdata

[*]Remove partition "system" (system1) and "system1" (system2);

rm 25
rm 26

[*]Create new partitions after deleting them, partition size is up to you;

mkpartfs primary ext2 403 1645 # 403MB is the start of the partition ending at 1645 MB, this will be for system1
mkpartfs primary ext2 1645 1745 # Do the same for system2
print # show the partition table to confirm that the partitions are created
name 25 system # name the partition as "system" for system1
name 26 system1 # again for system2
print # check again
quit

[*]Convert newly created partitions to ext4 from ext2;

#for system1;

tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
e2fsck -fDp /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
e2fsck -fDp /dev/block/mmcblk0p25

# for system2;

tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
e2fsck -fDp /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
e2fsck -fDp /dev/block/mmcblk0p26

[*]Go back to parted to check whether it's applied;

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
unit MB
print

[*]It should be like this (if you followed my partition sizes)

Model: MMC SEM16G (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 15758MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
