I think the number of additional worlds should remain stable at 6 -- people have tootled around out there in aether ships, and (supposedly) the ancient elves explored pretty thoroughly.
The 6 + sun + moon, and with Merlyn only sometimes visible was intended to give us a set basically like earth's western astrology / astronomy in the middle ages + a magical element.

Seems reasonable, and I'll go along with that - and thanks for filling in the details I didn't know about.
Incidently, here's the distance/period table for the heliocentric model where 1 AU is the distance form Alusia to the sun.
| Body | Mean distance (AU) | Period |
| Ariel | .4 | 92 d |
| Freya | .7 | 213 d |
| Alusia | 1 | 1 y |
| Thunor | 1.58 | 2 |
| Wotan | 5.24 | 12 |
| Hela | 9.54 | 29.5 |
| Murlyn | 19.33 | 85 |
I've tried to keep it as close to Bode's Law as possible
