Well, I'm willing to do some further experimenting using Apple-branded
drives only (no spvhd). But, so far I have not been able to get more a
total of four drives recognized on my IIc +.
I finally found a reference about Prodos 8 prior to version 2.0.1 don't
recognizing more than 2 smartport devices:

This is confirming that only four devices could be seen by the Apple
2c+ when
using Prodos 8 version 1.x.x.
The maximum number of (storage ?) devices managed by Prodos 8 seem to
be 14
according to the technical note.
What continues to be confusing is that my IIc + is managing a total of
(4) devices on the slot 5 SmartPort with ProDOS 1.x. That tech note
implies that two should have been the limit. It's mapping S5,D1 S5,D2
S2,D1 and S2,D2.
