You're the only one bringing additional confusion.
Nobody but you talked about doing such a stupid thing as removing a type 
ee partition. Dan and I only talked about removing the BIOS boot 
partition sda1.
sda1 cannot be a type ee partition. Type ee can exist only in the MBR, 
and real partitions sda1, sda2... exist in the GPT table.

IME removing a primary partition in MSDOS or any partition in GPT with 
common partitioning tools does not renumber the remaining partitions.
