Presently, secondary datastore is only supported as NFS (and not VMFS) - primary can be VMFS.
You can use the remaining space on secondary datastore, but you will need to present the VMFS space as NFS - which in simplest terms mean install a linux instance on that datastore, allocate desired amount of space and make it the NFS server. If this is proof-of-concept type of work, then I would use the same VM as CloudStack Management as well NFS - all on one type of setup.
