I feel like the original issue is likely caused by Paragon software that creates so called "empty" partitions. All looks like fdisk can remove those (I didn't know). It would be nice if you tried fdisk -l first as fdisk reports empty partitions.
P.S. "Empty" partition means that extended boot record has only a single record pointing to the next linked partition though usually there should be two records, one pointing to beginning of logical disk and another one should be a link.
