Aye, 'tis true. Four and six string versions would probably cover most situations.
But indeed there are a few five-course instruments that are used for chords.
Most instruments with more than six courses are probably not used for chords so much since it's hard to fret that many strings (unless you use a lot of barre chords and/or the open strings happen to fit in).
I have yet to explore the possibilities of the 'stamps'. Could you modify a chord stamp to show various fingerings?

I could be wrong, it happened once before.
