It depends on your usage.   You can partition stuff however you like; you
don't have to at all, you can create a giant / if you want to.
Partitioning is more of a convenience, esp. when you want to do backups.

When you partition multiple disks, though, stick some swap on both; it'll
increase your swap performance.
