I have no actual knowledge of these devices myself. 

I read in /etc/makedev.d/linux-2.6.x:

b $STORAGE              80   0  1  16 i2o/hda
b $STORAGE              80  16  1  16 i2o/hdb
b $STORAGE              80  32  1  16 i2o/hdc

b $STORAGE              80  64  1  16 i2o/hde
b $STORAGE              80  80  1  16 i2o/hdf
b $STORAGE              80  96  1  16 i2o/hdg
b $STORAGE              80 112  1  16 i2o/hdh
b $STORAGE              80 128  1  16 i2o/hdi
b $STORAGE              80 144  1  16 i2o/hdj
b $STORAGE              80 160  1  16 i2o/hdk
b $STORAGE              80 176  1  16 i2o/hdl
b $STORAGE              80 192  1  16 i2o/hdm

b $STORAGE              80 224  1  16 i2o/hdo
b $STORAGE              80 240  1  16 i2o/hdp
b $STORAGE              81   0  1  16 i2o/hdq
b $STORAGE              81  16  1  16 i2o/hdr
b $STORAGE              81  32  1  16 i2o/hds
b $STORAGE              81  48  1  16 i2o/hdt
b $STORAGE              81  64  1  16 i2o/hdu
b $STORAGE              81  80  1  16 i2o/hdv
b $STORAGE              81  96  1  16 i2o/hdw
b $STORAGE              81 112  1  16 i2o/hdx
b $STORAGE              81 128  1  16 i2o/hdy
b $STORAGE              81 144  1  16 i2o/hdz
b $STORAGE              81 160  1  16 i2o/hdaa
b $STORAGE              81 176  1  16 i2o/hdab
b $STORAGE              81 192  1  16 i2o/hdac
b $STORAGE              81 208  1  16 i2o/hdad
b $STORAGE              81 224  1  16 i2o/hdae
b $STORAGE              81 240  1  16 i2o/hdaf
...

and interpreted this to mean partitions of the form i2o/hd?[a-z]

I did find this description in the kernel Documentation/devices.txt:

80 block       I2O hard disk
                  0 = /dev/i2o/hda      First I2O hard disk, whole disk
                 16 = /dev/i2o/hdb      Second I2O hard disk, whole disk
                    ...
                240 = /dev/i2o/hdp      16th I2O hard disk, whole disk

                Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
                disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
                partitions is 15.

so maybe there is a bug in MAKEDEV?

Excellent.
