Best thing then is to set up a 2-drive system, put some non-critical data files in the home directories and try it out then. Although presumably, if I do manage to balls up the IDs and block the data, then it's just a case of logging in as root and sorting out permissions??

A little bit of tinkering is necessary. You'll need to make sure you use the

numbers, and the name is associated by looking in /etc/password. So if the
name matches but the number doesn't, the users won't be able to access their
files.
I'm not sure, but I think that if you reuse an existing home folder and tell the setup program not to clear it out, it takes care of that for you. The only time I needed to do this, I just made sure that I created the accounts in the same order as before so that they had the same UID/GID, which is probably safest.
