teTeX has:

$ ls fonts/tfm/public/cmextra
cmbxcd10.tfm  cmcscsl10.tfm  cmitt9.tfm   cmssbxo10.tfm  cmvtti10.tfm
cmbxti12.tfm  cmfibs8.tfm    cmsl6.tfm    cmsslu30.tfm
cmbxti7.tfm   cmitt12.tfm    cmsltt9.tfm  cmssu30.tfm

$ ls fonts/tfm/public/cm
cmb10.tfm     cmex10.tfm   cmmi9.tfm    cmsl9.tfm     cmssi9.tfm    cmti10.tfm
cmbsy10.tfm   cmex9.tfm    cmmib10.tfm  cmsltt10.tfm  cmssq8.tfm    cmti12.tfm
cmbx10.tfm    cmff10.tfm   cmr10.tfm    cmss10.tfm    cmssqi8.tfm   cmti7.tfm

cmdunh10.tfm  cmmi8.tfm    cmsl8.tfm    cmssi8.tfm    cmtex9.tfm

I think that it is worth keeping cm / cmextra separate.

And, that's how it is suggested by special.map (from fontname):

@c First the extra CM fonts from the AMS, where the names must match exactly.
cmbsy5		ams		cmextra
cmbsy6		ams		cmextra
cmbsy7		ams		cmextra
cmbsy8		ams		cmextra
cmbsy9		ams		cmextra
cmcsc8		ams		cmextra
cmcsc9		ams		cmextra
cmex7		ams		cmextra
cmex8		ams		cmextra
cmmib5		ams		cmextra
cmmib6		ams		cmextra
cmmib7		ams		cmextra
cmmib8		ams		cmextra
cmmib9		ams		cmextra

@c The 75 standard cm fonts (+cmex9) from Knuth. List them in all available
@c pointsizes, since there also exists a sauter version of them.
cmb10		public		cm
cmbsy10		public		cm
...

BTW: can someone please enlighten me about the history of cmex9?
