Yes, you just need to make the devices.  I think that the module is  
compiled to support up to 32 devices.  (#define EVDEV_MINORS 32)  Like  
this, for as many as you need:

mknod /dev/input/event0 c 13 64
mknod /dev/input/event1 c 13 65
mknod /dev/input/event2 c 13 66
mknod /dev/input/event3 c 13 67
mknod /dev/input/event4 c 13 68
mknod /dev/input/event5 c 13 69
...
mknod /dev/input/event31 c 13 95

It should show up once you create more devices.
