"Kevin Kichinka did a great article 
in two parts that addresses your 
questions. They were in Meteorite 
May 1998 V4, #2, pp. 8-12 and Aug 
1998 V4, #2, pp. 14-17.

Basically he says 26 stones can be 
accounted for and "No records exist 
indicating that any more material 
has ever been found since the 
recovery of the specimens in 1911.""

There is also a 2003 article published
in the lunar and Planetary Conference. 

It is;

TRACE ELEMENT GEOCHEMISTRY OF NEW 
NAKHLITES FROM THE ANTARCTIC AND THE
SAHARAN DESERT: FURTHER CONSTRAINTS 
ON NAKHLITE PETROGENESIS ON MARS by
M. Wadhwa and G. Crozaz.

http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2003/pdf/2075.pdf

It stated:

"Therefore, the recent finds of two paired nakhlites 
from the Antarctic (Y000593 and Y000749) [1] and 
another two from the Sahara (NWA 817 and 
NWA 998) [2, 3] have doubled the number of 
martian pyroxenites available for study."
