I think most users of disks more than a little under 20G would ultimately be
unhappy with that. I think I'd skip separate /home if HD size less than 19G.
So, something like this:
less than 19G -> up to 1G swap, balance /
19G-35G -> 8G /, up to 2G swap, balance /home
more than 35G -> 12G /, up to 4G swap, balance /home

In all cases where doz already is installed and is not already consuming 3
primaries, I would create a separate /boot of 75M-200M on a primary so that
standard MBR code could be retained. Optionally, put / on a primary. Either
way allows easiest possible restore of Linux bootability after doz gets
reinstalled.
This is much better partition logic than mine, but I knew that it
would my idea would bet the ball rolling in the right direction.
