Please be very precise in explaining your problem, I couldn't reproduce
it in qemu. I tried in the debian installer:
- booted with a 10G disk
- use manual partitioning
- have it create a partition table
- create a 1G primary partition (assigned automatically for /)
- create a 1G primary partition (assigned automatically for /home)
- create a 1G primary partition (assigned automatically for /usr)
- create a logical partition with the rest (assigned automatically for /var)
and it proceeded just fine.
Remember that the devil is always in the details.

If the partition *ends* before the 128GB limit, it should be fine yes.

I don't understand what you mean, please be more precise.
