Partitioning into smaller chunks is a grey area
On the one hand if part of the platter gets scratched, it'll only affect the partition that was assigned that region of the drive
On the other hand if something happens to the PCB or if it no longer spins, then partitioning wont matter for much
Personally I've had scorched PCBs, drives that no longer spin up, and times when parts of the drive are no longer functioning, it's up to you
