have a look at include/linux/mtd/partitions.h in the linux kernel.

There is a macro defined 
#define MTDPART_SIZ_FULL        (0)

And the comment above says: 
size: the partition size; if defined as MTDPART_SIZ_FULL, the partition
will extend to the end of the master MTD device.

This works fine for kernel and barebox.
