The partitions plan looked completely sane to me. It was going to delete
the existing partitions 2 and 3, set type of 1 to 83, then create the
new ones, including an extended partition at /dev/sd[ab]4 etc But it
still
failed trying to create the extended partition with the same error:

Error: Failure occurred during the following action:
Setting type of partition /dev/sda4 to F

System error code was: -1012

I will try a minimal plan on one disk and see how that goes ...
