That is only the recommended setup because it is the easiest to understand. If you want to create multiple partitions in the DOS partition table, you can certainly do that, as long as you change the BSD disk label appropriately. The catch is that the partition with the BSD boot block needs to be in the MBR and be of type 0xA5.
