I mean, five parts is really the only choice. Simply cutting out the GTA & Ottawa makes for a province that doesn't make much sense. It doesn't really have a "centre" anymore. If you cut out the GTA you pretty much have to then split the rest of the province into separate parts.
Southwest Ontario would be bigger than MK & SK combined, while Northern and Eastern provinces would be roughly in the same ballpark as MB, SK, or NS. It's not like they're too small to function.
The current setup doesn't work for Ontario anymore. The GTA dominates Ontario politics to the point where everywhere else is an afterthought. And the GTA itself would work better as a city-state. Partition is win-win.
