None of them _need_ to be separate partitions. Historically people used to do this so that an overfilling /var or /home would not bring the system to a standstill as / is unwritable. Personally I don't carve systems up like that at all. You could carve up /home / /etc /var and /usr but it's not worth it on a desktop/laptop these days in my opinion. If you used a filesystem that allows resizing, or LVM then you can add space to each partition as required, but it's extra admin and faff really.
