If you don't want to mess around with a DOS partition table, you have to use elilo. As the GPT doesn't have such a thing like "extended partitions", and a DOS partition table can only have 4 primary partitions, you end up with 4 partitions as a maximum. As in most scenarios 2 partitions are already occupied by the EFI boot loader and MacOS X, you only have 2 partitions left for Linux.
