Bottom line : do not use guided partitioning.
If you do not know what partition sizes you need, use LVM. Create
volumes with minimal suitable sizes (you are not going to fill /home
with 90% of the disk capacity at once, are you ?). This will leave
plenty of free space. When you see that one volume begins to be filled,
extend it. Simple and easy.
