To be more precise (at first I almost mistyped and wrote "precious"
) I might quote directly from the Unfinished Tales, and here it, I think, suggest that there actually
were more:

Of this Order the number is unknown; but of those that came to the North of Middle-earth, where there was most hope (because of the remnant of the Dunedain and of the Eldar that abode there), the chiefs was five.

This, I think, states pretty exactly that there was more than five...
Nevertheless, as far as I know Tolkien never mentioned any others (and I think we might be glad that he even had left us something about the two Blue Wizards remaining of the Five).
I hope this does not mean that PJ will dig up an army of seventy wizards to help in the Battle of Five Armies
