Unless you are posting from the year 1999, get rid rid of that wretched OS as soon as possible.
The answer is yes you can keep one as fat and convert the other with the disk converter utility.
Microsoft has a good article on it here:

Yes, but if you are doing this in order to get rid of the partitions on one of the drives, you would have to reformat all the partitions on that drive into a single partition. That means you would lose all the data on the drive. So be sure you back everything up before do that.

Step 1: Get rid of Windows 98 SE. It's terrible.

Yes. Windows 98 can read FAT32.
