He expanded the large HDD into a primary SSD partition and now seeks to restore it to two volumes, is this feasible?

I'd destroy it and begin anew from a backup. Fingers crossed someone else has a more effective plan.

I had concerns about it... Would reverting the extended partition undo the changes?

I reduced the 900gb main partition by 800gigs, leaving an unallocated space of 800gb. Then he created a simple volume from that. It’s not clear if this is the best approach, but he aimed for two separate drives, and now he has them.
