You can use as few space as you like and leave the rest empty.

OS 3.9 can be installed to an empty hard drive. First boot your Amiga with your old hard drive and create an emergency floppy, then replace the hard drive by the empty one and boot from the emergency floppy, partition the new drive and install OS 3.9.
