Bypassing the 16tb HDD internal storage by partitioning a 22tb drive?

Curious if I got a 22TB drive and partitioned it into two, made one partition 16tb and the other the remaining space, 5-6tb for example...zidoo would see both partitions of the 22tb drive? As long as either doesn't exceed the 16 TB limit on either partition?

This is for the new 8K 3000 series players with the single internal HDD bay. I figure the 2000 series would be the same?

Thanks!
