I think limiting the form options makes sense in the context of the show's lore. In chemistry, and therefore in alchemy, not all substances, when mixed, give new ones, and something useful is rarely obtained at all. Plus, already from the point of view of the plot, after getting a super-form, the basic options quickly become unnecessary, otherwise at least there is a chance to see them all.
Besides, I still hope Gotchard tries to combine the wrong cards and we end up with a creepy deformed rider.
