True only if you make those partitions GS/OS.  If you use HFS partitions,
they can be >32.  (I can't recall the max; probably huge.)  The only
danger is HFS utilties exist only for the Mac, so if you have HD
problems, you might be unable to recover easily.

The FAQ doubtless has more detail on this issue.
