I would like to create 6 partitions on one disk before installing. How

do I add partitions separate from the /home /boot /root and /swap files?

If you're using a drive 2TB or smaller, and an MBR, rather than a GPT, you can *only* have four primary partitions. To make more, one of those must be an extended partition, and you can create additional partitions in that.

FWIW, the CentOS 7 installer is soley responsible for making partitions, including whether they're primary or extended. The user has no direct control over this, although you can create them in advance outside the installer, and then assign mount points to existing partitions.
