Make it 1GB. Then reboot and try the update again.
The generic un-resized Recovery partition should be about 600MB.
Add 250MB to that and you should be near 900MB.
See post #16
The Recovery partition should also be "after" the Windows partition...
You can just shrink the Windows partition a little bit, to allow for the increased Recovery partition size.

The 12GB Recovery partition is the factory restore partition. Don't mess with that.
Here's how to find out which of the other TWO Recovery partitions is the right one. The one to keep.
Post #2, here: Which recovery partition to keep?
My bad. I should have realized it was a typo.
Another option, if it still doesn't work... (as long as you use backup software), you can just get rid of the recovery partition, and not have to worry about it.
With good backups, you don't really need a recovery partition.
And... if you don't have a recovery partition... it can't be hacked.
one thing I noticed in this update is that two things sped up the Cumulative Update speed
1) the system restore work was done before the Security Update, so some of the downtime waiting for the Cumulative Update to do anything was spent waiting for the Security Update to do anything
2) no servicing stack update this month
so some of the speed is really artificial since it's just slow in other ways instead of being slow during the cumulative
also, the speed of the cumulative is cancelled out by if you're trying to make the security update work
