I haven't done the exact math, but I think there's so many CFs now that we definitely have all the role names (unless there's some sort of hidden independent or Parshendi special leader role).
So assuming a symmetrical setup each prince faction has a Prince, a BattalionLord, a BrightLord, an Elite Guard and a Captain. And then there'd be 4 Parshendi left. I don't know for sure that this is how it is, but it'd make sense to me.
If true, that'd mean Thanadar is down to only their Captain and there's only 2 Parshendi left, while Dalinar and Sadeas are each down 2 (including the Sadeas prince)
Exactly what I was about to get at. The initial number speculation of 4-4-4-7 has to be wrong if he factions mirror each other, and they should. So, your numbers appear correct from there.
Based on that, I think we should be hunting the last surviving Parshendi. With PS confirming to Ano (by mistake) that gemhearts have a function earlier, then they could be getting several per day without having to worry about 2/3 highprinces contesting the plateaus.
