Restore single part from multi-part file

I just used Clonezilla to image a drive containing 3 partitions. On the image, they are labled SDA1, SDA2, and SDA5. I replaced the drives with larger ones for each partitions and when I try to restore the file using partrestore option, the third partition does not restore.
I've looked at the Clonezilla-SysRescCD which has a feature to extract a partition from a disk-image file, but it doesn't work on part-images.
Is there a way to getting that third partition to restore either in whole with the other partitions or by itself?
Update: Through hours of searching, I came across some hints that when you have multiple partitions in a partition image, the destination drives must have the same name as the imaged drives. In my case, I imaged partitions SDA1, SDA2, and SDA5. No manner of restoration would get back SDA5 until I used GParted to add an extended partition (SDA3), then added SDA4 and SDA5 as logical drives to the SDA3 extended partition. Hope this helps someone in the future.
Maybe this helps:
