no you are wrong.
only the first 0xa6 partition will get used
making it totally useless to have more than one of 'em.
and yes, it's imposed by openbsd, go read the source.

if you want to have multiple disk chunks spread
and hashed w/ different OSes on some of 'em and
some used by openbsd you do that in your disklabel.
