> How does extra drive space provide a benefit?

You can't install Snow Leopard on an 8Gb drive without jackassing it around, because the minimum space required for its installation exceeds 8Gb, but you can install it on a 16Gb drive hassle-free.

Edit: It also give OS X more room for "overhead."

> Does it mean that it's better to create just one large drive-sized partition?

Format your flash drive as per V1 (One partition will suffice unless you've got grander ideas.), install SL on it, and then add DiskWarrior and whatever else you care to add.

(By way of comparison, I've got 10.6.3 plus DiskWarrior down to 4.1Gb.)
