The count of 11-limit chords is triads: 6, tetrads: 15, pentads: 6, for a total of 27.

If we are willing to go as high as the 15-odd limit, there are many more keenanismic chords, all of which have a step of size 16/15. There are six additional keenanismic triads in the 15 limit, 32 additional keenanismic tetrads and 44 additional pentads.
