There is a discussion of this in the SuSE admin book - I forget the
correct name now, but you have the rpm - if you don't find the piece, I'll
try to find a link to the chapter I mean tomorrow.
You don't really need those partitions if you don't know why you would
need them ;-)
However, you can get some speed gain by having, say, / in one disk and
/usr in other, or by having the swap space distributed on both disks (same
priority). Then, If you have a web/ftp server, you might think of
separating /srv to its own partition (same motivation as for /home).
There are many considerations for doing such things, but normally there is
no need; unless you know you need them, in which case you wouldn't be
asking - which is another way of saying what I wrote two paragraphs above
;-)
You can simply leave space unpartitioned and decide later.
