No it's not, Nvidia Quadro's (workstation GPU's) in their max SLI config can display on 16 monitors.
There is no reason to have a £30 new GPU to display an extra monitor in a workstation configuration. Zero.
A scenario that will never happen:
"That's a real nice 16 monitor setup you got going there, why don't we on the cheap get a £30 new GPU which would require a PCI to Multiple PCI extender to reduce the bandwidth of one of the Quadros so that we can display a 17th monitor, oh and have driver conflicts and need a custom bios so we'll have to either hire someone to do it or commission one from our manufacturer so that we don't lose performance and have to spend days troubleshooting to even get the thing to work"
You're purposefully being difficult here, man.
Buying a brand new GPU that is £20-30 is a complete fast of time and money, and only targets people who are trying to buy cheap builds that don't know anything about computers, that would be way better off getting a used £30 GPU that is much older.

You have seen the price of Quadro, right? This thing sells for pennies.
You wouldn't be running a Quadro in conjunction with these cards. (And many workstations often just use integrated graphics too, depending on the required workstation tasks.)
Obviously if you are buying Quadro, this GPU is likely not who you are going to be targeting it at.
At the fire station we have a workstation, industrial grade PC, but it has a Geforce 7050 PCI card in it, because that is all that is needed to run the database for firefighter check-ins. (I'm in the process of overhauling it.)

I think you're confused at what a workstation PC means.
"A workstation is a special computer designed for technical or scientific applications" Which is why I used the example of Quadros, as those are for workstations.
Also, onboard graphics is more than enough to do that.
