Well, the reason is that it would be more clean and neat to collect the configuration inside the same partition but otherwise it doesn't really matter as long as you're not using Route Domains.

 

Hopefully these are not the same Self IP:s you're using for the HA communication? If it is you can't move them, those addresses needs to be in Common.

 

As for disconnecting clients while moving the config to a partition, I would do it on the standby unit and fail over and then do it on the other one so the effect on clients should be fairly minimal but depending on how mirroring is set up you will most likely still have disconnected connections.
