OK, I see what you mean. Personally, I would have done it slightly 
differently:

- create a partition with /home, /usr, /tmp, /var directories
- mount this somewhere, say /stuff
- mount -o bind /stuff/home /home
- etc ...

But that's because I know myself and I know if I did it your way I'd 
confuse the dickens out of myself three days later when finding a usr/, 
var/, tmp/ inside /home. It seems that human memory is like those Flash 
NAND things - it deterioriates with age, hehehe :-)
