Have you recapped the Analog board as well ?
Keep in mind that the PSU of the Classic is not very strong, so when choosing a large HDD: look at the power consumption, especially the spin-up power requirements are important.
As for partitioning it: there's a universial Boot Disk with OS 7.6 on Gamba's website that also has a patched version of Apple's HD SC Setup 7.3.5
That would do the job. You can create multiple partitions of 4GB. Start HD SC setup and go for Partition, them Custom, and create as many 4GB partition as you need.

My personal choice for larger than 4GB hard drives is FWB Toolkit.
Boot with the Crisis disk of FWB Toolkit 2.0.6: this formatter automatically partitions your drive and initializes all the partitions so they immediately show up on your desktop upon next reboot.
Since it's a Classic II, with 10MB of Ram, I would use OS 7.5.5
You can download OS 7.5.3 from Apple's Older software List webpage and also the update of 7.5.5
As for cloning your existing hard drive: that's easy. Select all folders/files and drag them to your new hard drive.
I think OS 7.5.5 will be the better option for a Classic II with 10MB of Ram. If you have less than 10MB and don't want to expand it, then OS 7 is the best choice.
