This is precisely what I was after, thanks to Otto Moerbeek. But I'd like to add a comment for clarification. No need for replying unless you want to correct me. > The point of auto-allocation is that this computation is done for you. I would be glad to just accept the auto-allocation, but https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Partitioning says this: "not be a perfect layout" "a good starting point for figuring out what you need" "decisions about custom partitioning schemes" So my reading is: Don't rely on auto-allocation. It is not bad for an average installation, but you are warned that you may want to adjust it.
