http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record:
  ,,This means the number of logical drives that can be formed within an
  extended partition is limited only by the amount of available disk space.''

http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.35.5/Documentation/devices.txt:
    3 block       First MFM, RLL and IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
              0 = /dev/hda          Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
             64 = /dev/hdb          Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)

            For partitions, add to the whole disk device number:
              0 = /dev/hd?          Whole disk
              1 = /dev/hd?1         First partition
              2 = /dev/hd?2         Second partition
                ...
             63 = /dev/hd?63        63rd partition

            For Linux/i386, partitions 1-4 are the primary
            partitions, and 5 and above are logical partitions.
            Other versions of Linux use partitioning schemes
            appropriate to their respective architectures.

To znamená, že linux by mal zvládať tých 63-4=59 logických partícií.
Ale závisí to potom ešte od implementácie toho daného softvéru,
ktorý rieši pri inštalácii Ubuntu partície. Možno si tam niekto
povedal ,,15 logical partititions ought to be enough for anybody.''
