I'm away from my Mint computer at the moment, but I believe if you right-click the menu bar and choose to add something to it, one of the options is a desktop switcher. You can then right-click the desktop switcher to choose the number of desktops you would like.

Right click on panel, New Panel. You might want to do this first, then add what you want to the top panel :)
