I don't quite understand the question.  Those `ending' values suggest
the size of each partition given all the `starting' are zero?  You need
to find out what that first line of information means.  I suspect `Size'
is the number of pages and `Page Size' is in bytes.  That would mean
8 MiB in total.

Depending on the flash device, the smallest erasable amount might be a
block of pages.
