I think it's a dilemma with most chording instruments. There are always several ways one can play any particular chord.

For block chords you're limited, of course, by six strings as well as getting one's head around the fingerings smile
I have generally struggled to get past around 4/5 notes per chord as my head hurts when I try and my hands aren't big enough for some of the interesting ones. I can manage a ninth. Any further and I'm usually in trouble.

Well, certainly unrealistic and quite possibly counterproductive. I could see one spending more time with trying to control the voicings that actually producing any music. The permutations of eight or notes over three octave will be a very large number smile
