OpenBSD GPT abilities encompass creating up to 128 GPT partitions.  See
fdisk(8) as suggested.

The OpenBSD disklabel can only hold 16 partitions, one of which is always
'c'. 'c' always describes the entire disk. 'i' is often created by the
installer to hold boot code. GPT partitions of various types are
automatically added to the default disklabel, known as "spoofing", on a
first come first served basis.

As Otto says, increasing 16 to something larger is an enormous task nobody
has undertaken.
