If your MAKEDEV only creates 16 nodes there, you might try
creating the additional nodes by hand:
  mknod -m 0660 /dev/hda17 b 3 17
  chown root.root /dev/hda17
  mknod -m 0660 /dev/hda18 b 3 18
  chown root.root /dev/hda18

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt claims you can have up
to 63 partitions, but I've never had the urge to try it.
