As per TESTOUT for A+ exam 320-602 the max number of logical drives that can be created in a basic disk's extended partition is 26.

Well, Testout is wrong. That may have been correct in the dark days of FAT and DOS, but here in the 21st century, with the use of mount points, the answer is that there is NO LIMIT to the number of logical drives that can be created in an extended partition. I could not quickly find an authoritative reference to this answer, so I used the empirical approach and created an extended drive on my own computer. I got tired of creating logical drives within that partition at about 30, and could easily observe that this process could go on until I literally ran out of disk space. I'd be happy to send you a screen shot, or invite you to try it on your own computer; it only takes about 10 minutes.
