Recovering deleted extended partition

I accidentally deleted the extended partition and 2 logical drives disappeared with it

Now I managed to find the logical drives with a Stellar Phoenix software and
I can recover all the files in deleted logical drives

my problem is that the Phoenix software is asking for location where to recover and I only have the system partition working and there is on 2.6 GB free space.
In the 2 deleted logical drives there is about 30 GB data

it looks like I need to borrow or buy a hard drive to move all the lost data to it and than create a new partitions and format them on the old drive and
move the data back

Unless there is a way to recreate manually the old extended partition with
the 2 logical drives

I know the beginning sectors for the 2 lost logical drives

Can anybody help with this?

Yeah, MBRWork it is, sorry I forgot to edit before posting!

I used it from a bootdisk...
