I remembered a program called namegen. This program is(was) available at
bob's FTP site.

It proceduces the folowing output with namegen 5 5. If you notice same tables
you think are missing then let me know. The total amount in this list is 110.

According to this program I get the folowing table:
#pieces | #tables
 2 1
 3 5
 4 30
 5 110
 6 365
 7 1001
 8 2520
 9 5720
10 12190
