Aside from those already listed in the other post, there's only one other patch for which I don't have a given name (#34, Sol 1395), so that's a total of four.
The drilling/abrasion tools on Curiosity and the MER twins have given us a good idea of the rock strength encountered by those rovers, but I haven't seen much research on the subject for Percy as yet. It's a little frustrating - that's a stat I'd like to include when writing up the different patches, it really would help tell a story. I know the mission has enough "drill parameter" data to make an interesting tale...
I'm sure they have a ton of drill data, hopefully they'll share something soon :)
As for your missing patch names looks like you have to wait until Early August for the next update
