Hang on, do you really mean '/root', i.e the root user's home directory? Or do you mean the root filesystem, i.e '/'? There's little reason to have a separate /root, since it should generally not have anything much in it. For what it's worth, my disk layout looks something like: /dev/sda1 - /boot, 100Mb. Allows me to keep bootloader config independent of the actual OS installs. /dev/sda2 - swap, 2Gb. /dev/sda3 /dev/sda5 - The root partitions of 2 LFS installations, both 30Gb. Basically, I switch between them - one is the current stable desktop, the other is free to do another LFS build on, which will eventually become the new stable. /dev/sda6 - /home, whatever's left of the drive, about 250Gb. Backed up periodically to an external drive... One observation for you - personal data is the only thing that's likely to take up much space on modern disks, so don't bother allocating hundreds of gigabytes to a partition that will only ever contain installed apps. 20-30Gb is more than enough to create a full-featured desktop...
