Yes it is possible and the guide you have linked is OK (it is the same method proposed on other forums some time before).
The only limit which that guide not tells you is that on N900 you can create only max 3 logical partitions.
You can create 4 (or more) logical partitions as shown on that guide, but unfortunately the fourth logical partition is not seen by mmc driver and you must use a dm driver for all partitions with theirs number beyond 7

here's the screenshot of my partitions list..

Try a simple cat /proc/partitions command from xterm and you will see that system not see all partitions beyond mmcblk0p7

But this information is not so usefull if then you will not able to mount these partitions because there not exist mmcblk0p8 and mmcblk0p9 on /dev
A mount -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p8 somewhereOnFileSystem will fail.
However you can use a dm0, dm1, ...etc devices if you have loaded a dm-mod kernel driver but I don't know if multiboot can boot from these devices
