It seems like it is not allowed.

jjanes=# create index on pgbench_accounts (aid) where bid=33;
jjanes=# cluster pgbench_accounts USING pgbench_accounts_aid_idx ;
ERROR: cannot cluster on partial index "pgbench_accounts_aid_idx"

But I don't see a fundamental reason it can't be allowed, maybe
implementing that should be on the to-do list.
