If your system supports process substitution:

IFS='\
' read -d'^Y' -a array < <(fdisk -l | grep 83 | grep Linux)

'^Y' is just a randomly chosen character that should not occur in the input data (entered using Ctrl-V Ctrl-Y).

If it doesn't support process substitution. Try this:

fdisk -l | grep 83 | grep Linux > /tmp/tempfile
IFS='\
' read -d'^Y' -a array < /tmp/tempfile
