"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."
