If you only want to use the 4 primary partitions instead of an extended
partition containing multiple logical partitions, I would suggest you change
the third partition to /var, and mak
My suggestion (without long boring technical reasons, like
phyiscal geometrical proximity):
/ (1st Primary)
/tmp (3rd Primary)
/home (4th Primary)

diskdruid will give you less control than fdisk. It usually forces it to
the end of the disk... nothing you can do. I don't advise that you put
swap at the beginning of the disk, since if you're using an x86, you
better have yerself a /boot partition (if you're using an IDE disk) at the
beginning
Since I've received no responses, I guess there
isn't a way around it with diskdruid.

You can do this with "fdisk [device_name]". See man fdisk. You have to
know the math of disk geometry to use this.

Disk Druid is pretty smart about knowing where to put partitions. Unless
you've read the docs (and even if you have), it'll be a bit more complex
to use fdisk.
