A general rule is that the more unbalanced you and your partner's hands are, the less you can rely on counting points as a method of estimating trick-taking potential. Therefore, when partner makes a weak preemptive opening, instead of counting points, you should exercise judgement. You have a lot of information about partner's hand now—specifically, that it can probably provide about four tricks in the trump suit and none in the other three suits—and you can use that to determine how to respond, if at all.
