As long as your new NVME is larger than the SSD, you can just do low level copy with the dd command, then resize the rootfs partition on the new drive to use any extra space with the gparted program (if not installed use: apt install gparted).

That will at least get over the problem of having a different partuuid etc

 Yes the dd method will avoid any changes to partuuids, where as if you use the rsync method you will have to change the values in /etc/fstab and also potentially /boot/cmdline.txt (/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt on Bookworm).
 

Is it possible to then create a DIFFERENT partition on the empty part of the  new disk? And mount it as - say - /home?

 Yes, you can do this with gparted, move the existing /home to the new partition and edit /etc/fstab to contain a line similar to:-
 PARTUUID=abcd1234-03  /home  ext4  nofail,noatime,errors=remount-ro  0 0
 

Ta. I thought it probably was. My Pi server build could not handle 3 USB drives so I need to reconstruct it with just 2, which means cloning the OS onto a fraction of a larger disk.
Then creating another partition for all the data under /home

Then do a:-
 mount -a
