I want to do this since I'm not certain as to the ultimate size needs of the partitions as time goes by.  So, if need be, I can add to a partition or shrink a partition.

I'm not understanding what point you're getting lost. On a 2TB disk, I can create one partition that goes to an LVM VG, from which I create four LVs: swap, root, boot, home. 4GB, 50GB, 500MB, and 50GB respectively. The remaining 1.99TB is unallocated.

BTW this single partition, everything in LVM, is GRUB2 bootable.
