Paging files are allocated on a per partition basis they don't overlap. You either allocate a custom size which is typically recommended so Windows doesn't decide to do something silly like reserve 10-15 percent of your available partition space. So in short you just select the partition from the list and select either custom size (user sets the size and it does not change), system managed (Windows is responsible for allocating the paging file size and will extend it if need be), No paging file (If your system has an adequate amount of RAM it shouldn't be necessary to have a paging file at all.) If your system is low on RAM a paging file can help to improve performance as your most frequently used files will be stored there in the paging file.
