Looks like it's maxed out for BIOS/MBR-based hard drive partitions. You can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary partitions and one extended partition containing any number of logical. So one option may be to repurpose one of the existing along with the unallocated as an extended and create some logic drives from that
