the s number refers to the slot in the 4 element array..
in that case the 3rd slot isn't marked as 'valid'.. that's all.

no.. to use the whole slice,
you just need to add a line in your fstab for /dev/sd0s2
(do it after you're installed)
don't label it..

you must disklabel THAT to have usr and more there..
