Can I use other outputs for motor as well?
The default 5I25 config when used with the 7I76 is a dual 7I76 configuration so there are actually 10 step generators available. As Viesturs says, you can connect most step motor drives directly to the 5I25 so you can have a 5I25/7I76 for 5 stepgens and 48 I/O points and then connect one or more additional step drives directly to the second 5I25 connector. If you have a small system with 5V limit switches, you can get away without any daughter cards at all or perhaps 7I75 I/O breakout/protectors only >> > > You can always wire stepper drives directly to 5i25 ports.
