Bug Description
This is certainly a known limitation at the present stage, however we may want to track it somewhere. The thing is: if a disk has existing partition and free, unpartitioned space, it is still not possible to create a new partition there (without wiping the partition table entirely). Likewise it is not possible to delete individual partitions from an already partitioned disk (a warning is given in this case).
I guess this is tricky to support; maybe less tricky with GPT partition tables.

Yeah this is a known limitation, and we should make it clear. Fixing
requires curtin changes too. And yes, I would really really like to pretend
MBR partition tables don't exist please :)
