curtin already supports extended partitions, as the filer suggests, the missing bit is the size of the extended partition in that dictionary:

I don't have the actual disk sizes, but, something like this will work.

- device: sda
    flag: extended
    id: sda-part4
    number: 4
    type: partition
    size: 9999220736B
  - device: sda
    flag: logical
    id: sda-part5
    name: sda-part5
    number: 5
    size: 9999220736B

curtin already exercises extended/logical partition paths, for example, this 10G disk
defines a 3G primary, and 5G extended, and then 2G logical and 3G logical.

    config:
      - id: sda
        type: disk
        ptable: msdos
        model: QEMU HARDDISK
        path: /dev/vdb
        name: main_disk
      - id: sda1
        type: partition
        size: 3GB
        device: sda
        flag: boot
      - id: sda_extended
        type: partition
        size: 5G
        flag: extended
        device: sda
      - id: sda2
        type: partition
        size: 2G
        flag: logical
        device: sda
      - id: sda3
        type: partition
        size: 3G
        flag: logical
        device: sda
