Yes, nothing speaks against that.  A /var with 4-6 gigs of space is "usually" 
sufficient, but of course not in all cases.

However: If the mysql.log gets so big, there are probably tons and tons of 
errors logged into it. If that's the case, it may be worth investigating those 
leads to see if the MySQL problems can be fixed.
