--- Comment #2 from Eike Hein <hein at kde.org> ---
The reason for this "artificial limitation" is that X11 only supports four
keyboard layouts. Plasma already does some magic to support 8 with trickery.

In the rewritten KCM, we will likely drop this and go back to only 4 for now.
It might be possible to expand this trickery to support more than 8, but it's
not a priority for now compared to addressing other limitations such as the
lack of IM support.

However, on Wayland there's no such limitation and you can have as many layouts
as you want.
