Can I add a Lion Recovery Partiton After Install?

Question

I just upgarded the hard drive in my MacBookPro8,2. I have both my old bootable drive (bootcamp, so 10.7.2 + Win7x64) and a networked Time Capsule with a recent profile I can restore from. I also created a fresh Lion install CD using the commonly available tricks, which is what I used to install Lion on my new drive. Unfortunately the installer had some problems with the fresh drive and required me to manually partition it. That's fine, but I only created a single partition, installed, recovered my profile via Time Machine, and Lion is now running just fine. Unfortunately I don't have a Lion recovery partiton or a Boot Camp partiton (yet!).
I know how to repartition the drive to get Boot Camp some space when the time comes. I also know how to use Disk Utility to get me a 1gb partition that could potentially be used for the Lion Recovery partition, however, this leads me to two questions:
(1) How do I manually create a 650MB partition for Lion Recovery, since Disk Utility's GUI only goes down to 1GB increments. I ask because the OEM partition is precicely 650.0MB and I'd prefer to make things as stock as possible and/or not waste any space.
(2) How do I create the bootable Lion Recovery Partition "after the fact"? I see plenty about how to create an externally bootable Lion Recovery USB drive (which I did and have available if necessary), but I don't see anything about how to make a recovery partition on my internal drive (which is required to run Find My Mac correctly, but I just plain want it anyway).

AFAICT, you have two partitions, one for Lion and one for Boot Camp. The installer will only see the Lion one. Run this commend in the Terminal and post the results:
diskutil list
Nope - sorry, maybe I was a bit unclear. I only have 1 partition right now. I was simply trying to say [in my first post] that I know how to manually add a partition for Boot Camp. With that said, I haven't actually done it yet. To be even more clear, here's my partition information:
/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *750.2 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            750.0 GB   disk0s2
