One other option is to boot from a gparted-live CD, which gives you a GUI long enough to partition your volume, then reboot your normal system.

I dont know what to do next since I dont see any partitions listed. I

says 17.6 TB but this model drobo can only support partitions up to 16tb without making a second partition.
Can anyone provide some advice on that I am missing conceptually?
If you have a GUI desktop installed you can install the gparted package from EPEL. It is easier to use than raw parted and mkfs.
