In disk Utility as you are looking at the disk structure. On the one piece of media there is most likely one container. I assume you did make the disk APFS. If so far is true and you did create a volume then that volume is going to share the entire media. If you create a second volume within that container then the media is going to be shared. That's the nice thing about APFS , partitioning is no longer necessary.
