I would partition something like this:
40MB Primary partition type ext2 or 3, Linux /boot
40MB Primary partition type FAT32, win xp boot
remainder of the disk is an extended partition with Logical drives
Remembering that Windows insists on having the first partition on the disk or it won't boot. I'd still say that simply going with the offering from the SUSE installer is the easiest route. As Vince said, setting up the basic partitioning when you install WinXP would be best (choose not to use the whole disk on installation but just the space you think you'll need, leaving the rest for linux) but this isn't crucial - the linux installer will resize partitions for you.
