\begin{abstract}
Repeating earthquakes repeatedly rupture the same fault asperities,
which are likely loaded to failure by surrounding aseismic slip.
However, repeaters occur less often than would be expected if these
earthquakes accommodate all of the long-term slip on the asperities.
Here we assess a possible explanation for this slip discrepancy: partial
ruptures. On asperities that are much larger than the nucleation radius,
a fraction of the slip could be accommodated by smaller ruptures on the
same asperities. We search for partial ruptures of repeating earthquakes
in Parkfield using the Northern California earthquakes catalogue. We
find 3991 individual repeaters which have 4468 partial ruptures. The
presence of partial ruptures suggests that asperities of repeating
earthquakes are much larger than the nucleation radius. However, we find
that partial ruptures could accommodate only around 25\% of the slip on
repeating earthquake patches. A 25\% increase in the slip budget can
explain only a small portion of the long recurrence intervals of
repeating earthquakes.%
