It's also possible to read it that the title 'Wizard' was applied only to the five Chiefs (Saruman refers to "THE Five Wizards"), but that there were other emissaries who were of lesser degree and didn't merit the title.
One thinks immediately of Gwaihir, for instance. And there is also the 'near-Maia' Glorfindel.
