Simchat Torah, and whenever Rosh Chodesh Tevet, Adar or Nissan fall
on Shabbat (none of which happen this year).

It's the same reading in EY and Chu"L, so the same number of Sefarim.

The real question is why EY doesn't read Aser Te'aser as well, since
it's the time when maaser is due, which would require four sefarim.
