I have several ST4096's. They all do not require anything like Disk Manager. Most are on DTC MFM controllers. DOS 4.01 FDISK partitions it fine. But from what I remember about Disk Manager, it does allow multiple DOS partitions without any problem as well. Perhaps you are allocating the whole disk as one big 80Mb partition. Make the primary DOS partition 32Mb. Only one DOS partition can be "active". This just means bootable. The other DOS partitions are accessible for data, files, etc.
