I routinely place /home on its own partition.
Its structure resembles:

My questions:
1. Can I have /home/richard/Downloads be on its own partition?
Yes. The only thing to consider is that they are mounted in correct
order i.e. first /home/richard then /home/richard/Downloads.
I think my question was misunderstood.
Perhaps I should have repeated "Disk partitioning phase of installation"
in the body of my message.
Rephrasing my question:
Can I, during the manual disk partitioning phase, specify that
/home/richard/Downloads be on its own partition *AND* the rest of
/home/richard/ be on its own partition?
Alternatively, you could mount them at independent times by using a
mountpoint outside of /home/richard (e.g. /media/richards_downloads) and
having `Downloads` as a symbolic link pointing to the mountpoint of
choice (`ln -s /media/richards_downloads Downloads`).
2. How could I have found the answer?
By trying it out :)
*BAD* answer.
Obviously I was asking how could I have found the appropriate documentation.
