this is if / includes the other directories you specified.
(i.e. the TOTAL disk space required is 5GB + /var )
you'll get away with 512Mb on / (and possibly less).
of the other directories you mention, only /usr will have software 
installed into it.
/home - well this depends on your users and how much space they will 
require.
the same applies to /tmp.
There are very good arguments for making /tmp and /home  different 
partitions.
(if either of them fill up, X will stop working)
