Why not partition your USB instead ?
FAT32 is limited to 4 GB file size while NTFS will use FUSE which is slow under Linux.

Resize the main flash partition to make room for Android. Then create an unformatted partition. You can use separate /system and /data partitions, like on real Android devices, but one partition will work as well.
Your system uses UEFI or Legacy boot ?

Primary/logical does not matter, I always go primary if possible. Or even better, just reformat your storage as GPT (for UEFI systems) instead of MBR.
