Yeah. The docs have a note on using it for finding partitioned table size:
<para>
For example, to check the total size of the data contained in a
partitioned table <structname>measurement</structname>, one could use the
following query:
<programlisting>
SELECT pg_size_pretty(sum(pg_relation_size(relid))) AS total_size
FROM pg_partition_tree('measurement');
</programlisting>
</para>
