Adding a partition

I left about 26GB free on my 80GB hard drive. Having found a use for
that space, I now want to add a partition. I've not added one by hand,
and /stand/sysinstall gives me a 'cannot write to ...' message, so I
want confirmation that what I'm about to do won't crump on me. ;]
System is two 80GB ATA hard drives on a 'Promise PDC20269 UDMA133
controller' (according to dmesg), with one on each channel (both
master). I'm running software raid using atacontrol.
My current partition table follows:
#v+
dave[tigger]~> sudo bsdlabel ar0s1
# /dev/ar0s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 1048576 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 8
b: 2097152 1048576 swap
c: 156296322 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
d: 73400320 30408704 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28544
e: 2097152 3145728 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
f: 12582912 5242880 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
g: 12582912 17825792 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
#v-
To use up the unused space, I believe I need to add the following line:
#v+
h: 52487298 103809024 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
#v-
Could someone who's done that before confirm whether that looks right?
