Extended are still needed.  The partition table in the first block of
the disk has four entries in it.  So, you can describe three primary
partitions and then fill the rest of the disk with an extended
partition.  The extended partition has another table in it that is used
to describe partitions in it.  This repeats until all needed partitions
can be described.
