I think you can safely create that big partition, and then, if you want,
delete it in Yast and create smaller partitions. This should not shrink
the extended partition again (usual disclaimers apply, blah, blah, blah).
Notice: beware of adding too many partitions! If you have more than 16 you
will not be able to install suse 10.4 (yes, that's a four).
