When to split a partition into two subpartitions?
About Splitting Partitions and Subpartitions. The SPLIT PARTITION clause of the ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement is used to redistribute the contents of a partition into two new partitions.

Can you split subpartitions in a reference table?

For example, there are 5 partitions and 2 unallocated spaces in my computer:

I resized the primary partition on the disk to leave some unallocated space, and I wanted to make the extended partition there so I could make 3 logical partitions in there, but I can’t. I do not have any other extended partitions on the disk; the only other partition is the primary partition which I do not want to lose data from.
