I am fine to think about answering some questions.

The afore mentioned Fallen Flags site for The Super Chief shows several
listings of wagon types for The Super Chief train:

I am looking forward to seeing many variants, custom redesigns, and
alternate MOC uses of these Santa Fe cars.  I think these effects strengthen
the foundation and encourage the new theme "My Own Creation".  Make them
Your Own Creations.

I think the Fallen Flags Santa Fe site builds a nice sequence and quantity
in which to position the various wagons.

I have not seen a special set number(s) for a quantity 2, 5, or integer
multiple order.  Perhaps the billing computer system automatically
recognizes that an order has greater than quanty 2 and applies an
appropriate discount or percentage-off calculation?
