If by 'primary partition' you mean what MS calls partition, and which
FreeBSd calls 'slice' then you can have up to 4 of them, named 1-4.   
These, then can each be divided in to as many as 8 (but really 5 or 6 in 
practicallity because c and d are excluded and b usually only use for 
swap) sub-units, which FreeBSD calls partitions named a-h.
