Here's one where they ran up the count from 7 to 12:
They soldered in pairs of transistors (base to base, emitter to emitter, collector to collector) most everywhere. The transistor with the lower b-e drop in such pairs will be the only one that does the work... Or it it's close, one will still take say 80% of the current. Still, it doesn't get you any more performance.
