This is actually no real answer to your question, but I can't keep from writing anyway. I have this single 14 universal copedent http://groups.msn.com/countryfolketidalarna/dcmcsfotoalbum.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=141 and it can do an awful lot more than I can. Maybe there are some good ideas in it that can be good for other fellow pickers, and the input you'll get here will sure be interesting for me as well.

Extended E9th is simply E9th with two additional strings: low G# and low E. The only change required is raising low G# to A along with the other two G# strings.
Beyond that, the copedent can be extended in various ways similar to the 10 string E9th. The whole point of Extended E9th is that it is not a different tuning - it's simply an extension of the low range of the standard tuning.
People seem to agree that there's no need to lower the low E along with the other two, but there are different approaches to the F lever. Most people simply raise the low E to F along with the other two E's. Winnie Winston lowers it to C# instead, and I follow his example. The low root of the chord is more useful than the low 3rd, in my opinion.
Another approach is to do nothing to the low E string. This gives you the 7b9 chord on the F lever - very cool, especially if you don't have a C6th neck.------------------
