Yes, it's very little work. Just do the custom disk partitioning and
assign the partitions you want to use. You will need to tell it to
format the / and /boot partitions and make sure that isn't checked for
the other ones (by default it won't reformat).

The last time I did an install, using the custom install option would
have allowed that. I haven't done a fresh install for a while, so it
might have changed. I would ignore the /home and /data while
installing, making sure they aren't touched by the install process.
After install, add them as mounts in the /etc/fstab file. The home
created under / during the install will be masked by the new /home from
fstab.
I don't consider that a lot of work, but YMMV.
