The first (primary) partition should go in during the DOS installation, whichever DOS you choose.
After that, DOS FDISK can create and format the other FAT16 partitions, including any "extended DOS" partitions.

I would advise against using a Linux application to create DOS partitions.
Partitions should be created, and formatted, in the OS they are for: create DOS partitions in DOS, Linux partitions in Linux, otherwise it can mangle the partition tables.

I learned that the hard way !
