No, 6 more, for a total of 11. I'd take holes all teh way to the ends! I often
do trucks that don't use bogie plates and instead use the 2x2 tile with center
technic pin, so I can offset the truck pivot (for ability to get around curves
better) a ways from th truck center.

But the part is symmetric, so the open end always points inward. This lets you
extend the truck frame inwards a bit if you have to instead of being up agaist
the edge of the part.
The weakness would be minor and worth the tradeoff, in my view.
But you're the part designer so hey... have at it.
