Ahh, I guessed this might be how it worked, from the presence of the 'entire disk' option, but I didn't realise the partition could be split in the labeller. I've upgraded this machine from Dell SVR4 which used same scheme, but this wasn't clear with FreeBSD. Well that's what I get for never reading the docs. However, I don't think I should of had the trouble I did? I think SCSI errors when partitioning a disk is a bug.
