then put everything between <partitions ...> into the largeswap.xml
you can't just put one partition into the largeswap.xml and the other 
partitions into autoyast.xml. I think merging will be messed up then.
You can try but I don't expect that to work. I have to take a closer look 
but the following should work:

your largeswap.xml should look something like this with all partitions:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

                </partitions>
            </drive>

autoinst.xml like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
... lot of other stuff ...
<partitioning config:type="list">
  <drive>
    <initialize config:type="boolean">false</initialize>
    <use>all</use>
