Even if you need to do this remotely, you can use gparted through ssh 
with X11 forwarding.

If you consider resizing your RAID volumes one day, I'll recommend the 
already proposed solution: use LVM, with physical volume directly on the 
disk device. No partitionning. Why ? Because, as far as I known, parted 
developers has decided to remove the unmaintained/old code to resize 
ext* filesystems from parted.

I don't know about gdisk features. Perhaps, it can do better than 
parted...
