When there are more than eight pinned tabs, is there a shortcut that will get me to the tab that is right after the last pinned tab?

I generally have twelve to fourteen pinned tabs. I can get up to the eighth one easily with the shortcut Ctrl+(1-8). However, I've found that I often have to access the tab that is right after the last pinned tab, and so to get there I must do Ctrl+8, and then Ctrl+Tab several times to go forward several tabs. Is there shortcut that would get me straight to the first tab that is right after the last pinned tab?

Not that I know of.
A possible way to achieve this would be to use the PrefBar extension and create a button to add a shortcut key to a specific tab (you can use Ctrl+0; zero).

Code to jump the first tab that doesn't have the pinned attribute: 

var T=gBrowser.mTabContainer;
var C=T.childNodes;
for(i=0;S=C[i];i++){if(!S.hasAttribute('pinned')){T.selectedIndex=i;break;}}

Code to add a savtab attribute to the currently selected tab: 

var T=gBrowser.mTabContainer;
var cT=T.selectedIndex;
var C=T.childNodes;
for(var i=0;S=C[i];i++){if(S.hasAttribute('savtab')){S.removeAttribute('savtab')}}
C[cT].setAttribute('savtab',true);

Code to jump the tab that has the savtab attribute: 

var T=gBrowser.mTabContainer;
var C=T.childNodes;
for(i=0;S=C[i];i++){if(S.hasAttribute('savtab')){T.selectedIndex=i;break;}}
