Subject: PCIE Lane Sharing on an X99 Extreme4

Hi, I am considering an X99 Extreme4 with a 5820K i7 (28 lane) cpu.  I have read the motherboard manual and searched here but cannot find the details I am looking for. 

I would like to know if PCIE slot 2 (PCIE 2.0 x16) is still available after populating slots 1,3, and 5.  The only explicitly listed exclusion is slot 5 being disabled if using a M.2 PCIE SSD. 

The reason I am asking is I would like to run 4 gpu cards, BUT NOT SLI.  1 card in slot 2 would actually run the monitor, while 3 other cards will be used for general processing.  My software allows any combination of GPUS so I do not need SLI or identical GPUS.  Furthermore, the cards do not need 16 or even 8 lanes for max performance. 

Thank you!
