Installing Windows on part of SSD

Is it true that even when I install Windows on a one of four partitions of a new SSD, the wear-leveling algorithm found originally on the SSD, will spread the usage and data across the entire SSD and won't limit it just to the installation partition ??

Yes, that is true.

Thanks for replying. So in that case, suppose I install windows which occupies just 20% of the entire space of SSD, and the remaining 80% I keep empty, will the SSD last theoretically considerably longer as the wear-leveling algorithm distributes the data evenly across the SSD and alters the bits locations each time data is saved ??

Yes. In general the less capacity of the SSD that is actually used, the longer it will last. The general rule of thumb is to keep 20% free. People used to only allocate 80% of the SSD to partitions and leave 20% unallocated for over provisioning, but that isn't really required.
