Bug Description
Since there is no mention of limitation on number of partitions (just on number of virtual disks) I was expecting to be able to create more than 4 partitions. But, since code in disk.py creates every partition as primary this obviously didn't work. After fourth partition is created next one fails with - Error: Can't create any more partitions

I haven't used this particular package -- but I know from experience that disks can only have 4 *primary* partitions, of which one can be an *extended* partition in which you can create as many secondary partitions as you like. Maybe the same rules apply for virtual disks too?
