The offsets were much easier to calculate than I thought, so I've 
settled on MBR+EBR now.  System is working well. :)

=>       63  468862065  ada2  MBR  (223G)
          63   67221441     1  freebsd  [active]  (32G)
    67221504   67221504     2  freebsd  (32G)
   134443008   67221441     3  !218  (32G)
   201664449  267197679     4  !15  (127G)

=>        0  267197679  ada2s4  EBR  (127G)
           0   33675264       1  !218  (16G)
    33675264  201406464  534529  !218  (96G)
   235081728   32115951          - free -  (15G)

Everything aligned on 1 MiB (except the first partition - corrected in 
its BSD label instead).
