Answer 1

instead of the main partition, you need to create an extended one, you can create 4 more partitions inside the extended partition

Answer 2

Or a Jedi option: convert the partition table from MBR to GPT with gdisk . After that, you can freely manipulate partitions. You will not lose data, you will configure the bootloader after installing the linux distribution. But this is only for EFI systems, this will not work with the BIOS.

Answer 3

You need to convert one of the current primary partitions to a logical one:

After that, you will be able to create additional logical partitions.
