I should think that would depend very much on the index of refraction of the cement used.

It was thoroughly and not conclusively discussed some 10 years ago.
I think it's worth a new thread on this prime.
Also, I seem to remember Carlos Santisteban thought there was no
significant differences and possible complications regarding cementing
more elements in newer designs.

I didn't know that but you can see it here
<http://olympus.dementix.org/eSIF/om-sif/lensgroup/85mmf2.htm> in the
"optical construction" part of the specs.  One design is listed as 6
elements, 4 groups.  Another (in parenthesis and presumably the older
design) is listed as 5 elements, 4 groups.  Mine is a silver nose and
presumably 5 elements.

At least three. There was also a very significant change in the design
that
resulted in a different number of elements.

How many versions are there?  More than three... single coated,
multi-coated (labeled), multi-coated (unlabled)???

OK, so we have one more vote from the peanut gallery in favor of the
85/2. I won't ask, yet, which version.
