MBR (Master Boot Record) supports up to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and one extended partition. The extended partition can then be subdivided into multiple logical partitions. Since the device already has two partitions and you need to create seven more, creating an extended partition (and then creating logical partitions within it) is the correct approach to accommodate the total number of partitions required.
