Very good catch. After doing a bit of research, I managed to come out with two more examples for this: Dalek Time Strategist and Keri.

The DTS appears in 6 stories overall (which means there are "only" 5 stories listed under "other appearances". Still, these stories belong to two different series, and even within one of the series, they are non-consecutive appearances. For Agents of Chaos, he appears on all 3 stories, but then is absent from the first two stories on Casualties of War, returning only for the third story.

Keri is an even better example (as many appearances as the DTS, but these are less connected to each other): her first appearance was on Prelude Legacy (short story), a prelude published on DWM 211. Then, she appeared on two (non-consecutive) Virgin New Adventures books. Later, she appeared on two (once again, non-consecutive) Big Finish Bernice Summerfield audio stories, and, most recently, on a BBC New Series Adventures book.

What I mean is: by not making lists for these characters, we end up giving the wrong impression that these stories are consecutive, or even part of the same "series" of stories. By making a list, we solve this problem. (but, as Amorkuz said above, 4 is too few, given some character are planned for one BF box set, or BBC New Series Adventures "mini-series" of audios, and I agree that's too small. But from up onwards, specially if there are multiple series/anthologies, seems a good path.)
