When I was in Chuvashia and shown some interest, I was told that the available corpus (rather scarce) does not "prove" that Chuvash runes were more than Orkhon with local (synchronic and diachronic) glyph variation. BTW, I see Orkhon has space ¿pre-reserved? in the SMP, four rows starting at U+10A80. Since "classical" Orkhon has 38 letters (trusting < http://www.omniglot.com/writing/orkhon.htm >), three would be enough. Four rows reserved means that either new material was found or that the proposal is still very far from completed and slack was given for any unsuspected need, I guess.
