You can:
 - install to a partition that's the size you want rpool
 - expand the partition to the full disk
 - leave the s0 slice for rpool alone
 - make another slice for l2arc in the newly available space

Or you can:
 - use a zvol for the l2arc and forget all this partitioning crap like
   zfs intended.
