Well, yes. A DOS disk (not-GPT) can only have four primary partitions. If you're going to have more than four, then at least one must be an extended partition (typically the fourth partition or /dev/sdd4) and any partitions above 4 live INSIDE partition 4. In the above example, /dev/sdd4 should be type 5 (EXTENDED), then /dev/sdd5 and /dev/sdd6 would live inside /dev/sdd4.
I think those partition types are equivalent, but that's definitely the least of the problems there.
