Is there a way to get /home, /var, and /opt installed as directories on that other "one big partition"? /var in particular has an odd mix of OS and 'your' data and logs that may turn out to be big. And you may not know ahead of time what to allocate for it as a separate mount point.
Isn't this pretty much the use case for LVM? Set up the other partition as a pv on a different volume group from the root, and have three logical volumes in it. You can resize as needed.
This keeps /home and /var in separate filesystems, too, and there are advantages to that.
