You do not need any spare partitions if you just change your
installation sources to point to 10.2 repositories.  See
http://en.opensuse.org/Updating_SUSE_Linux

You must do:

1. change *all* repositories to 10.2 sources, including extra ones like
Packman or guru.
2. ensure that *all* packages which cannot be updated are removed (the
dependency check will be useful here, but you might have to wade through
a lot of choices, particularly if you do not adhere to point 1.)

Make sure you read and understand the warning at the top of the URL I
posted above.
