This is got not MBR, here you can have up to 128 primary partitions. You already have two primary partitions as per your parted command

Ohhh because I see it's written name not type, so I thought it wasn't primary thanks for clearing that up!

After creating partitions on the disk in question you need to format the partitions to the desired form using the commands below after first quiting from parted:
sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb2

If you have a graphical desktop (for example standard Ubuntu), you can install gparted
sudo apt install gparted
and use it in an intuitive way to
- create partition table via the pulldown menu 'Device - Create partition table'
- create partitions and file systems
- modify partitions (move, increase or decrease size, add labels and flags, change content (file system or swap))
