LPAR does require planning for both hardware configuration as well as business objectives.

And I doubt if it is possible to place more then one partition in the CEC of a 520. without expansion towers.

That sounds like building two machines.

I have assumed for a long while that LPAR required
a "great deal" of planning to make it work. I often
wondered about this after seeing the chart that shows
up to 256 partitions on a single machine. That's gonna
require a few extra parts.

You can do partitions on a small machine - they'll just be very small partitions. The issue, IIRC, has more to do with the peripherals. You need duplicates of some devices, like CDs, you probably need an extra tower for various cards where you can attach external tape drives - not recommended on production machines, BTW, but I've hot-switched a 3490 between LPARs in the lab at IBM. It's no small task to retrofit a machine for LPARs.
