This is correct.

You could define the following:
chache_swap 1750
# 750 M
cache_dir /squid-cache/a
cache_dir /squid/cache/b
cache_dir /squid/cache/c
cache_dir /squid/cache/d
# 550 M
cache_dir /squid/cache2/a
cache_dir /squid/cache2/b
cache/dir /squid/cache2/c
# 550 M
cache_dir /squid/cache3/a
cache/dir /squid/cache3/b
cache/dir /squid/cache3/c

550 / 3 = 183
183 * 4 = 732

To have some more space on the first partition is a good choice because
there is the default place for the log (the dictionary for the hole cache.
