I've seen Smaller Luthiers do multiple piece backs up to 9, they have a fan effect, but very cool.

a 9 piece back would look wicked cool. Id love to see one.

The explanation is that it's essentially endangered, and so everyone is having trouble getting the stuff. Martin just went through it faster than everyone else; remember Bob Taylor only uses it on his Presentation Series Guitars, which as less than a hundred in number every year.
