Are you sure the independents are only using races of existing empires? It could be all those you found just wound up as the same race of existing empires.
An easy way to test this would be to make a 1400 star galaxy, starting everything, 1 AI empire, teeming independents. Then go into the editor and see if there are any independent colonies which are a different race.
As for forcing the issue, I don't know of a way to determine which races show up as independents other than using the game editor.
EDIT:
I just did 3 games with those settings plus no pirates (can hide colonies) and here's the results.
Independent Colonies -
Teekan & Sluken empires
Teekan 6 in 5 systems
Naxxilian 4 in 3 systems
Teekan & Shandar empires
Teekan 6 in 5 systems
Human 4 in 4 systems
Teekan & Mortalen empires
Teekan 2 in 1 system
Naxxilian 7 in 5 systems (3 in 1 system)
Looks like the number of independents is limited by how many empires there are. The first independent was always the same as my race, but the second is a new race. One thing to note is that the colonies seem to for in clumps, or have 1-2 within a sector of each other. Over 90% of the map was devoid of colonies.
