That's... a really bad idea. It's unsupportable (since many systems will absolutely choke on that kind of setup), and so any UI that makes it easy for you to configure a system in that way is actually a UI that makes it easy for people to accidentally configure a broken system.

There isn't any other way to be able to easily switch your system BIOS from standard to EFI.
But that really isn't the point. The partition tool couldn't even manage to write a new partition label. I ended up with two swap partitions and a leftover root partition from the previous install while thinking that I'd managed to remove everything.
Seemed very buggy.
