PS:

For partitioning you could use GParted
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GParted .
You don't need to use the same partition sizes, you likely will
increase /boot assumed it has got a default installer size. If you have
everything on one partition, you even could copy the content
of directories to separated partitions or vice versa copy several
partitions to directories on one partition, you just need to edit
fstab, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab .
