More than 7 partitions needed on disk suite mirrored setup

Hi,

We have a Sun Fire V210 with two disks which are in a standard mirrored
configuration using disk suite. 6 partitions have been taken for the
OS, so I have one spare.

We have been asked to provide up to 14 (maybe more) distinct partitions
on this machine, (these cannot be simply directories). Is this possible?

I have done this in the past using soft partitions with disk suite, but
on a hardware RAID 5 base, so I wasn't using disk suite to do the
mirroring as well.

The option of adding more physical disks is being considered, but the
customer would like to avoid the extra cost.

Thanks,

Alex.
