There are a few odd balls in 9-track as well, but the 556 was a typo.

Yes, in non-9 track there are a number of more obscure formats. There's
CDC's 14 track (1 inch wide) tape, there is the original Univac Uniservo

556 bpi 9 track??? That (along with 200 and 800) is a standard density
for 7
track tape, but for 9 track I've only seen
800, 1600, 6250.

Honeywell had a 1200BPI 7-Track that used Chrome tape...
