Alexander,
Nice idea, better than getting stuck with same size.
I know this is very relative, but which partition gets used most in OpenBSD in
your experience? /var or /home?
It depends. For a server, /var. For a workstation, probably /home. Both
of those should already be mounted at that time, though, so they are
probably not the easiest targets.
I tend to add a larger /data, /bigtmp or /whatever, and then symlink
into it, potentially from various places.
OTOH, if you cannot even say which one you need, why forcibly partition
and mount it? Just let it stay unpartitioned until really needed.
Also please note that I forgot newfs + mount in my example.

Otto,
Thanks, but this will be a "cloud template", all other templates I'm
building (linux, freebsd) expand partition and filesystem upon first
boot, was hoping to achieve the same. Not sure how reinstall would
help in this case, though I am open to any advice.
Unless you really need a single large root partition, you can run
disklabel at first boot to create one or more partitions in the
unpartitioned space at the end of your disk.
Sth like this in /etc/rc.firsttime:
printf '%s\n' a p '' '' '' w q | sudo disklabel -E sd0
echo '/dev/sd0p /data ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2' >> /etc/fstab

Thanks guys, I was hoping for a more optimistic feedback, at least I know not to
waste too much time on this.
Maybe just include bsd.rd and reinstall?
