Easy enough so far...

It's possible, but why? and which OS would use the resulting 160GB 
file system?

That's easy enough.  Depending on what other OS you plan on 
installing, it might be easier to install the other first, and put 
FreeBSD on after.  (not all OS's give you an option of how to handle 
the MBR at install time)
