After doing some simple calculations, I think you only need 6

That is exactly the way my amp is built. I'm sure there will be comments about the Q not being optimum on some bands, but it works well from all evidence I can see. It took a while to fine tune the taps so the tuning "feels" right and power output/efficiency are what they should be 30/20, 17/15, and 12/10 but it was worth it.
