Extended Partitions not found on Easus Partition Management

I must be confused, but I've created 3 primary partitions on the new
harddrive, and when I wanted to make an extended partition, Easus PM
(dl'd only a week ago) only had two choices, Primary and Logical.

I fell for it and made a logical partition and then couldnt understand
why I coudln't subdivide it. I'd forgotten the word extended, but I
remember it now. I deleted the logical partition and tried to make an
extended one, but that wasn't a choice!!

My gosh it's not mentioned in the Help for Win Disk Management either.

Picture confirming the strange design of that tool.

Notice, in the example, the three green ones on the right are Logical.
And the person making the example, is converting partition I: to logical.
That will require re-dimensioning the Extended, and putting the Logical
inside it. The new logical I: , fits neatly on the left hand side
of the Extended envelope. That's why they picked I: for their example,
because it makes sense as a candidate for being logical.

If they had clicked C: and selected "Convert to logical", as you know,
there is only a maximum of one Extended per disk. So that request would
have been denied.
