Caveat when partitioning a server or vps to run with BOA - just a / and a swap are probably all that is needed for most purposes. Repartitioning ext4 on the fly is not fun.

The BOA installer places the master instance under /var/ageir and the octopus instance(es) under /data/disk. Because of that, yes, I think you'd be better off allocating more space to sda2 than to sda4
Also, if you have backups enabled they are being stored under /data/disk/[user]/backups which is probably contributing to your space issue.

The other place that you will use space is the MySQL folder (/var/lib/mysql)
What I did in a similar circumstance (AWS instance) was to create three folders in the extra drive for mysql, data and backups. Backups is a subfolder of data - but I wanted it at the same level to I could easily access it.
With MySQL, you can move the location and change the path in the config files.
Otherwise, just stop the services, move the folder and create a symlink from the original location. Then no partitioning magic is required.
