As previously written, 1 MB is plenty enough for a BIOS boot partition.
 It is not an EFI system partition nor /boot. It just contains GRUB's
core image for BIOS. The current size of this image is less than 50 kB
in the worst case, and I don't see it grow bigger than 1 MB any time
soon because it is also designed to fit in the 1 MB MBR gap for
MBR-style disks. GRUB's fancy and heavy stuff is kept out of the core
image, in /boot/grub or other places.

Besides, as previously written, there is a 500 GB unallocated space at
the end of the 2 TB disk so there is really really no need to shrink
anything.
