You have one primary partition remaining in the MBR. I haven't installed Windows 8, so I can't tell you if it's any different than other Windows, but I think it will install into a single partition so long as it's a primary partition. Its preference is to have 2 or 3 separate partitions, but the installer is going to see it only has the one option to install to, so presumably that's what it'll do. At least this is how it's working on OS X when users prepare the system with Bootcamp Assistant, the resulting installation is a single partition Windows 8 install.
