When you select that option for C: does it give you a size so you can adjust the file on the other drive accordingly to come to the desired total?

After I set C: to system managed, Windows created a page file there 4GB big, so I'm assuming it will match the amount of RAM.
You can either ignore it or subtract that from the total desired amount.
I'm just going to ignore it. From what I understand the custom one will be the one used normally, while the system-managed one on C: will only play a role for a memory dump in the event of a crash, and perhaps when you set the system to suspend or the other drive is just too busy to accomodate read/write to the drive.
To avoid fragmentation, you could manually set the one on C: to match your amount of RAM, plus a little breathing room, setting min and max the same so it doesn't expand. (it's actually 4.01GB here)
