olddir <directory>
Logs are moved into <directory> for rotation. The directory must
be on the same physical device as the log file being rotated,
and is assumed to be relative to the directory holding the log
file unless an absolute path name is specified. When this option
is used all old versions of the log end up in <directory>. This
option may be overridden by the noolddir option.
It's a documented limitation, I'm afraid.
I'd suggest putting all of /var/log on the bigger partition (using a
bind mount or a symlink).
