This depends on the engine variant.
V, X: 8 cell types per room.
W, Y, Z: 13 cell types per room. You can use the other 3 but they
must be the same in all rooms.
[: All 16 cell types available in each room.

Your idea of letting each room have a different subset of cell types
is a good one. I may well do that in the V and X engines.
