Use LVM.

About 3x overkill

10x overkill.

100x overkill. 150-250 MiB /tmp is sufficient for virtually all
purposes.

Rule of thumb: 1-2x RAM.
Effectively: create a partition sized to your current RAM. Replicate
this to the total system RAM. Mount 1-2 of these partitions.
E.g.:
- System has 1 GiB RAM and supports 4 GiB RAM:
- Create four 1-GiB swap partitions. Mount one or two of these.
You'll expand into the remaining two as you add system RAM.
Peace.
