I really don't understand what you're saying... Perhaps you should explain it 
again, an example of your disk= line from one of your domUs might be enough.

On one of my systems I'm using LVM2 for my domU filesystems. I initialize them 
through LVM in dom0 and the domU sees them as whatever partition I wish. 
Example:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg0/bebop,hda1,w',
         'phy:/dev/vg0/bebopswap,hda2,w',
         'phy:/dev/vg0/space1,hda3,w' ]

On another system, I'm using file backed partitions and describe them to Xen 
like so:
disk = [ 'file:/opt/gdom1,hda1,w' ]

In neither of these scenarios is the number of partitions allowed on my hard 
drive an issue.

Hope this helps.
