Automatic generation of inner front with chapter tabs

The chapters in our books are divided by index tab dividers. Right now
the inner front always has 17 tabs. The tabs are represented by a table
with automatically generated list of markers from each chapter.
 
I think it will be too costly to deliver 17 index tab divider for
manuals with only 8 or 12 chapters.
 
Is it possible automatically to generate an inner front page where I can
select between say 8, 12 and 17 index tab dividers. 
 
I know that I could have 3 different inner front pages, but then I and
all translators would have to replace one front page with another when
the number of chapter increase from for example 8 to 9 chapters.
 
I use unstructured Framemaker 8. The solution that I choose should also
work for translators with say a Japanese Framemaker/OS.
