[Software] how to add a partition to thumb drive?

$

I downloaded debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-kde.iso and wrote it to a 16GB PNY thumb drive using Disk Image Writer (it's standard with debian12 install, I think it comes from GNOME)
There is 12 GB free space on this thumb drive but I can't create a partition. The error message from gnome-disk-utility 43.0 is:

Code:

Error creating partition on /dev/sda: Failed add partition to device '/dev/sda' (Too many primary partitions.) (udisks-error-quark, 0)
It doesn't matter if I choose Extended Partition checkbox, or just select ext4 or XFS filesystem.

Can someone fix this or would it be a security concern? I want to put many OS config files on the thumb drive.
