Not sure what Right-Side-Drive (or SSD) has to do with missing gears... basically nothing. Really, it's just a matter of chainring count as dictated by the currently available road Di2 FD limitations.
Even in a triple setup, the new mtn Di2 FD won't give you more range in the chainrings because of its severe ring capacity limitations as mentioned earlier in this thread.
