I'm not saying it does need a stack per cylinder, five stacks for a bank of six cylinders just seems odd to me! I did to a little research and it is right to have five. I just have never noticed before, and most mosquito pictures I've seen have fairings over the exhausts.
I wish I had a Mosquito here so that I could de-cowl the engines though to see what's going on with the "missing" stacks (more or less which cylinders were paired or if the exhaust is plumbed somewhere to run something else like a power recovery turbine)
EDIT: Looks like I'm off topic so we should leave it at that or start a new thread!
