Kathy RM allows all events, including custom, up to 8 data lines in a box. TMG - which uses the same underlying charting software as TMG, though with more editing options - allows all events up to 9 data lines. Both have free trial versions if you want to GEDCOM your data over to make a chart. TMG has a forum dedicated to charts (the Visual ChartForm forum) with many examples.
Maybe Legacy v8 charting will have more flexibility in the allowable data; the preview of Legacy v8 indicated that there will be some new features in the charting module. There is an option once you are in Legacy Charting to add a few more details about basic (birth, marriage, death) events (not custom events), but I could not get it to work.
