All LOGICAL partitions are located inside a single EXTENDED partition (which don't have any filesystem).
So try to create a single EXTENDED partition first, which must be big enough so that all the LOGICAL partitions you will want to create will fit inside it.
After that create the LOGICAL partitions.
