Installing the program on the primary hard drive is all you need, you can still setup up your partitions regardless of how many HD's you have in your computer. I have had up to 7 HD's in one computer all partitioned.

In other words the program runs off of your first and or primary HD which communicates with you OS to run any commands you give it and by "commands" I mean even a click of the mouse or fill in the boxes to complete any process of putting multiple partitions on all and any hard drives.

What do you do when the first one gets full? That is why I was curious if they can be installed on the other hard drive partitions that have nothing on them,

Don't let it get full. Try to only have your OS and your programs installed on that primary partition. Save all other data (pictures, documents, music, videos) on another partition or hard drive. Depending on how many different programs you want to install, I would say allocate 40-100 GB for that primary partition.
