you get the devices correct though! After dd has finished, you can use
gparted to grow you partitions (or system-config-lvm in case of lvm).
Alternatively, if you want to rearrange your partitions, you could
create a partition table seperately, and then copy individual
partiations over using dd. For that to work however, I suspect you
need to make sure you only have a partition table, rather then
complete filesystems.
Good luck!

DD is the slow way to do it - it has to copy every byte, and can not
change partition size on the fly. That is why there are tools like
g4l and parted. While dd will work, it is not the best tool for the job.
