No no, it's not that simple:) Each extended/logical partition has its
own partition table and some spare room at the beginning of its allocated
partition space. So when one of your extended/logical partitions gets
mislocated it *will* overwrite sectors it shouldn't touch and quite
likely destroy some data.
