Yes.

Many other approachs.

   2nd Q. If correct, how can I prepare the Linux partition
 inside the extended one? With mk2efs?

As usual.
For linux, there is no difference between primary or extended partition.
You can prepare all partitions as being extended, if you prefer. 

Lilo, however, needs a primary partition if you do not want to put it in the
master boot.
