Specify the number of partitions at `gpart create` time:
# mdconfig -s 1G -t swap
md0
# gpart create -s bsd -n 20 md0
md0 created
# for i in $(jot 19); do gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 1M md0; done
md0a added
md0b added
...
md0t added
# gpart show md0
=> 0 2097152 md0 BSD (1.0G)
0 2048 1 freebsd-ufs (1.0M)
2048 2048 2 freebsd-ufs (1.0M)
...
36864 2048 20 freebsd-ufs (1.0M)
38912 2058240 - free - (1.0G)
