I think you missed out three more permissible "hads"
Imagine John and Roger at school both doing the same English test, but Roger, being the Latin scholar, knows his tenses better;
Roger, where John had had "had", had had "had had". "Had had" had had, ***"had" had had*** not, the examiner's approval.
