I can confirm the following points:
* the code in the kernel works "correctly" in that it can successfully
mount and access deeply nested non-OpenBSD extended partitions;
* the code in the base fdisk(8) utility works correctly as I have used
it numerous times to fix disk partitioning on Window

Despite the touted support, OpenBSD wouldn't be able to boot off an
extended partition, unless it's the very first or second one.
The kernel was fixed (after a fashion) some time ago, but boot(8) and
installboot(8) still live under the mistaken idea that extended partitions
are defined recursively
