I think you'll have problems with 51 or 64 GB disks.  You don't want a 
/home that is only 1 GB or 14 GB.  It might make sense to do this 
instead:

VG < 50 GB: make /boot, swap, rest as /
100 GB >= VG >= 50GB: make /boot, swap, split rest between / and /home
VG > 100 GB: make /boot, swap, / with 50 GB max, rest as /home

That keeps /home from being too small in the separate /home case.  The 
smallest a separate /home could be is 25.5 or 26 GB.
