Usually they detect the actual number of cells in a pack. I know the Dimension Engineering LVC has a little LED that flashes the number of cells it detects.

If you use a lot of cells, there can be voltage overlap where a half-charged 8s could be detected as a fully charged 7s (for example). If you can find a LVC that you manually set the number of cells on, then there wouldn't be anything to worry about.
