Yeah, I'd expect using a clone tool would give you new partitions the
same size as the old ones.  Though there might be options to use it

You could grow the partition.  I haven't used clonezilla, so I couldn't

Well, if you log out as a user, and log in as root, root's home space
isn't inside /home, so /home doesn't need to be mounted.
