If you were to put a trailing colon on the partitions with no mount flags,
you'd have the same number of colons in each array element, which might
make some other things easier (as PWS mentioned).

Given the trailing colons to create empty flags fields for the lines that
do not have flags, you can do

    for mountp name size fs flags in "${(@s.:.)${(j.:.)partitions}}"

However, I'd still prefer Peter's nested loops.

Another option is

while IFS=: read mountp name size fs flags; do
  # ...
done <<<${(F)partitions}

That should work even without the trailing colons, but could be tricky if
you need standard input inside the loop body.
