Auto layout for disk partitions - a new user's perspective

Hi. I am new to OpenBSD, so these questions come from my first
experience with the system.

I selected the auto layout option when partitioning my 256GB drive. I have
then found issues while doing the following:

1) Cloning src from the github mirror and checking it out, completely fills
the /usr/src parition.

2) Building some ports fail because /usr/local/pobj is not on an wxallowed fs.


My questions are:

1) Should the default /usr/src partition be bigger on large disks?

2) Should there be a /usr/local/pobj partition created with correct mount
options? (I appreciate building ports is an "advanced" thing to do - but it
feels weird having to mess with partition layout after a fresh install just to
build them)
